You can use your Southwest Companion Pass to fly for free to St Maarten
You can bring a friend, partner, family member, or anyone on all your flights for free when you have the Southwest Companion Pass.
The Companion Pass is one of the best travel deals because there are no restrictions. It’s truly an unlimited pass to fly for free. You just pay airline taxes and fees of $5.60.
Normally, you have to fly 100 flights or earn 135,000 Southwest Companion Pass qualifying points in a calendar year to earn this pass.
Most folks quickly earn the pass by getting two Southwest credit cards. For complete step by step instructions, read my post on How to Fly Free for Two Years.
