Excellent write up! I love to see actual real-life examples like this on maximizing points and saving lots of $$!

@ ffflyer I could not agree more! I have delayed all absolutely unnecessary travel for now. Not because of any fear, but because of all the inconvenience and BS. Funny, in the weeks following the whole country shut down, and it wasn't until it started opening back up, I was flying (HOU/DTW, DTW/BOS, & BOS/HOU, numerous segments), and none of us were wearing masks, not the few passengers OR the crew. All about making the sheep and cattle feel all fuzzy and warm, just like the whole TSA thing! I have issues with wearing a mask but I am tolerating it for the moment, and I have my own personal feelings about the whole Covid 19 BS, but I don't want to get that battle raging here. Unfortunately, most of my trips to drive would require days v. hours to fly. Shorter ones, around Texas or to New Orleans, I too am driving. Safe travels, my friend.

Of course someone with a companion pass is flying. I am both CP holder, and A-List. The reality is that the number of points earned from flying is minimal for CP. I am either earning it through spending coupled with the low amount of points from my 35 flights a year or not at all. Even with business, I would never fly 100 flights a year. I suspect there are a great many of us in that boat. Given how this pandemic has played out, I suspect even those that have been able to fly 100 flights with Southwest are not likely to get close to that. Depending on how long this plays plays out, the benefit this offers is quite non-linear across the board. I am a Southwest diehard, and will likely continue to be for some time, but I am also a vocal customer when I see something that may not add up. I posit that SWA wanted to wait this out a bit longer, but impatient customers forced them to come up with a handout a bit early. I realize other airlines were giving offerings, but I believe they are all a touch early considering no one truly knows how long all of this will drag out. Lonnell
