Best perk on SW is the companion pass. Some well timed credit card sign ups and a few flights and you can have a companion fly free with you for almost 2 years. Especially nice as SW flies to Hawaii.

I think it’s a CC perk on Delta.

Nope, on SW you get unlimited companion flights for the term of the pass. Delta is a one use certificate.

Oh wow, that is a great perk [1].

100 one way flights is a round trip a week, but I guess some hit it.

Credit card sign up and spend count towards earning the pass, one trick make a large tax payment with your cards to boost the points earned. Worth the fees you will pay.

Alaska also has a companion pass and also flies to Hawaii

They also fly to Belize. I used my companion fare for that earlier this year.
