dulcechica2891 asked:
What is the best site to find companion airfare or companion airline tickets? Is there one always available for somebody to search? Do specific airline sites (e.g. Delta) have them? Are they really worth it, or do they jack the price up so much that you are better paying for two of the separately? I have typed in companion airfare, Southwest Airlines companion airfare, and companion airfare from Birmingham, AL. They were done in separate searches but nothing gave me a good solid answer.

go to the airlines web site to get the best deal. You get what you want for a decent price. All those priceline or other money saver sites are not worth it. Yeah you may get the cheaper ticket buy they fly you all over the place…basically wherever there is an empty seat and it takes forever to get to your destination. I’d rather pay a little more..get the seating that I want…a direct flight and get to where I am going faster. That is just me.

The reason that you didn’t get an answer is that airlines don’t typically offer companion fares anymore. It’s been many years since I’ve seen one.
They weren’t necessarily good deals even when they were offered. In order to qualify for the discounted companion fare, you had to buy one ticket at a higher fare. You could not buy the cheapest fare and get a companion discount. It was often cheaper to skip the companion deals and just buy two tickets at the least expensive fare.
Your best bet is to go to a shopping website such as kayak.com. Kayak searches many different website and combines the results. Then, just buy two of the cheapest fares that you can find.
