To use the Alaska Airlines Companion Fare, you need to book a qualifying itinerary on the Alaska Airlines website or app, where you can apply the fare to your reservation during the checkout process.
First, make sure you have an eligible Alaska Airlines credit card like the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card. This card allows you to earn the Companion Fare benefit after your first purchase each year.
When you’re ready to travel, log into your Alaska Airlines account. Choose a destination and select your flights. Look for the Companion Fare option during the booking process.
You can book one fare for yourself and get a companion fare for a significantly reduced price, often just taxes and fees. The companion must travel on the same itinerary as you, which means no separate flights.
Be aware that the Companion Fare can only be used on certain fare classes. Typically, it works with the main cabin or first class, but check the specifics during your booking.
Keep in mind that the fare is only valid for round-trip flights. So, when planning your trip, ensure you have both your departure and return flights selected.
The Companion Fare can also be used on award flights. If you have enough miles, you can book one ticket with miles and apply the Companion Fare for your companion.
After booking, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Make sure to check all details before your travel date. Changes can sometimes incur fees or require rebooking.
If you’re ready to use your Companion Fare, just follow these steps and enjoy your travels with a friend or family member for a great price!
