Companion Pass is not transferable.

Our Verdict

Looks like an incredible deal. There are thousands of people who would anyway be flying with Southwest in the next couple of months, and those people are just getting a free two months of Companion Pass if they register and book now.

During normal times, this might call for a mileage run (assuming you could make use of the January-February companion pass), though in the current environment lots of people try avoid going out when they can.
