✈️ Free Southwest Companion Pass promo
|
|
|
|
|
This is one of the best airline promos we've seen this year, so brace yourselves:
Until the end of the day today, you can get the chance to have a companion travel with you on all of your Southwest flights for two full months. Here are the details:
- Register for the offer
- Book a round-trip flight or two one-way flights by today
- Take the flight(s) before November 17th
- A companion flies for free with you on all flights from January 4th through March 4th of 2023
This could be a great chance to score some free flights for that special travel companion or be the popular one at the Christmas party when you give out two months of free flights to a co-worker.
How could you take advantage of this offer if it ends today?
Well if you have any travel coming up this fall, then it's easy. If not, there's still a way you could reap the benefits of this promo.
For example, if you live in a city like Los Angeles you could book this round-trip flight and knock out the qualifying requirement in one day for under $100. Essentially you'd pay $98 in exchange for unlimited free flights for a companion for two months.

You'd even have a few spare hours to hit the casinos while you're there too. But what you SHOULDN'T gamble on is missing out on this excellent offer 😉
Remember, you only need to book the round trip by today, you can fly anytime until November 17 to get the Companion Pass.

🌎 Buy miles with a 145% bonus
|
|
|
When it comes to booking flights, it's always hard to decide whether you should deplete your stash of points or pay for flights with your hard-earned cash. Well, sometimes the answer is neither…. or both… I'm not sure, just keep reading and you'll see what I mean.
Until the end of the day today, Avianca (the biggest airline in Colombia) is selling its airline miles with up to a 145% bonus. A bonus that big sounds ridiculous. Because it is ridiculous. And I'll tell you why:
I've already told you about multiple opportunities to save money by buying points and booking travel, and this is just another example.
Let's take a specific scenario and break it down:
This round-trip flight from New York to Bogota can cost as much as $600 or $700 but can cost as few as 20,000 points. If you were to just buy these points from Avianca with this promo, you'd only pay $330 for that $600+ flight.

Even after you account for the $120 of taxes you have to pay when using points, you're still saving hundreds of dollars by taking advantage of this offer.
And if you think flying on Avianca to Colombia is the only way to use these miles, then think again my friend.
Because Avianca is part of the Star Alliance, you can use these miles to book flights on DOZENS of other airlines like United, Lufthansa, and Air Canada without ever setting foot in Colombia.
Click here to find the offer for the bonus. You'll need to create an Avianca LifeMiles account and register with your account number.
DISCLAIMER: The Avianca website can be very irritating to use, often to the point of making you want to defenestrate your phone or computer. Rather than do this, I would recommend being patient and hitting refresh until you find a good deal and are able to make it to the checkout page. Just know that you aren't alone. Everyone gets as frustrated as you when using this website. It's the price we pay for amazing deals.

This one hit home for me… It's true that traveling so much and working remotely is amazing a lot of the time. But there have been plenty of "sitting in front of a computer without leaving bed" days and not so many "tanning on the beach with my laptop" days... I guess it's a balance 😛

Well, that's all for today. Stick around for tomorrow's newsletter where we are giving away 300,000 IHG rewards points. That's quite a hefty batch of free hotels, so don't miss it.
Are you going to book a Southwest flight to get the companion pass? Have you ever traveled while working remotely? Let me know by responding to this email or reaching out on social media.
Have a wonderful day,
