Southwest announced changes to their rapid rewards program today. But the thing I found most interesting

 Loyalty partner redemption

Starting in Spring 2027, Members will be able to earn and redeem Rapid Rewards points for travel through international loyalty partnerships, beginning with Icelandair, China Airlines, and Etihad Airways, 

So you will be able to earn and use Southwest points for Iceland flights. 

Also, Starlink will be on all their planes by next fall 
My biggest take away is that companion pass is essentially going away after 2027. 
Unless you were getting it by sign up bonus, which already you could only once every 4? years or the hotel bonus, I don't think it will end up being that much of a change. I assume they still will have promotions like they have now to get extra TQPs and the two time a year promotional companion pass where you get one for fall and winter. 

They are making it easier to get status now since CC spend goes towards it, which it didn't before.
