If you’re a Southwest Companion Pass holder and your flight was impacted by severe weather, you may be wondering how to adjust your plans without losing the benefit. The good news? You can absolutely reschedule your trip or reassign the pass if needed—but it’s best to handle this directly with a live Southwest agent. For personalized assistance, call ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 and let the representative guide you through rebooking or pass-related changes. This way, your Companion Pass continues to deliver value despite the weather hiccup.

The Companion Pass is one of Southwest's most generous rewards, allowing a second passenger to fly with you for free (minus taxes and fees). But if your trip is delayed or canceled, you’ll want to make sure both you and your companion are successfully rebooked together. Don’t wait for the online system to sync things—call ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 and confirm your new itinerary.

If you had to cancel the flight and no longer plan to travel, you can save the Companion Pass for a future date. Ask the agent at ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 to help unlink the pass from the canceled itinerary so it's available again. They can also provide guidance on how to reapply the benefit to your next booking.

One of the most important tips: ensure both tickets—yours and your companion’s—are changed or rebooked at the same time. If you update only one ticket through self-service tools, the companion reservation may get dropped or misapplied. That’s why calling ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 is the safest option to keep both flyers together.

You can also ask about switching your companion. While Southwest only allows changes to your designated companion three times per calendar year, weather-related changes may sometimes qualify as exceptions. Speak with a representative at ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 to find out whether your case qualifies.

Another helpful tip: if you used points to book your original flight and now wish to rebook with cash—or vice versa—the agent at ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 can walk you through that transition. The Companion Pass remains valid either way, as long as it’s correctly linked.

Be sure to confirm whether any travel credits were issued during your cancellation and how they impact your companion's fare. Even though your companion flies for free, your account may still reflect changes that must be manually reviewed. Again, a quick call to ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 clears that up.

Always request a confirmation email once your itinerary and Companion Pass have been updated. That way, if there’s confusion at check-in or boarding, you’ll have proof in hand.

In summary, Southwest’s Companion Pass remains a powerful tool—even when weather messes with your trip. To keep everything running smoothly, call ☎️+1 (877) 443-8285 and work directly with a specialist who can protect your pass and ensure both passengers stay together.
