Companion Pass

I currently have tickets for myself and my kids for a spring break trip in 2018. I should obtain companion pass at the end of this month and will be adding my husband to my ticket. What if my fare type is showing sold out (wanna get away)?  Does that matter?  Am I able to add him at anytime as long as there are still seats on the flight?  Thanks!

Yes, you can add him as long as there are seats on the flight.

 

If it shows sold out, keep checking as there is often a little movement on availability closer to the date.

Thank you! New to the companion pass thing! I was getting nervous but feel better now.

In hindsight - it won't come up again if you maintain companion pass, but in case anyone else is reading - you might have considered booking him on points at the beginning as a backup, then when you earn companion pass cancel that one and your points are returned, and add your husband as companion.

 

It would work with cash too as long as he'd be traveling without you to use the travel funds that you would get back when you canceled the original flight.
