By flying to Chicago and back this past week, I earned a companion pass promotion from Southwest. With that Doug would be able to fly for free with me anytime I booked a flight from August 7th to October 7th. We were both very excited to hear that as that the fall was prime IU football season.
The one downside to the pass was that I couldn't book Doug's ticket until August 7th, so we might not be able to sit together. If it meant that the flight was free, I knew that neither one of us would care about that. The companion pass also meant that I would only be in the Midwest when Doug was able to go. It would make for shorter three-day trips instead of the weeklong ones that I had been taking in the past. I was ok with that as I had spent a lot of time in Indiana since last June and was ready for a break from being away from home for extended periods of time. As of right now, Doug and I haven't decided when or where we will travel this fall, but at least now we know that it would be a lot less expensive.
