In 2021, we became the first U.S. airline to introduce a groundbreaking subscription service that allows guests to earn miles and book flights in advance with no blackout dates. Today we’re thrilled to announce we’ve made Flight Pass even better.

Over the last two and a half years, we’ve asked subscribers to give us feedback on how to improve their guest experience. On Sept. 25, we’re rolling out enhanced features to streamline the booking process through Flight Pass – making the overall user experience seamless and easy!

Alternatively, current subscribers can choose to cancel their subscription immediately, free of charge. If a subscription is canceled, any eligible unused Flight Pass credits will still be honored until their expiration. Terms and conditions apply.
