Frequent Miler on the Air · Tuesday, June 30, 2026
Southwest Airlines miles are seen as a good candidate for speculative transfers, particularly for those with the Companion Pass, as the 100% bonus offers great results due to their relatively fixed value. Nick also indicated he would likely transfer speculatively due to recent changes in Southwest's seating policy and booking flights for family members.
“What about Southwest Airlines?”
“Well, I would probably very seriously consider Southwest. And I don't find Southwest to be among the most exciting miles because they have a pretty fixed value. But they do have a pretty fixed value. So getting 100 percentage transfer bonus would yield great results.”
“And because we have two companion passes in my household where we're very frequently looking Southwest ahead of other airlines. So, yeah, I would do Southwest.”
“Well, the funny thing is, I think I probably would. Um, so with their new assigned seating, I'd be more likely to book Southwest than I was before.”
