No, you can’t transfer Southwest points to other airlines, and you can’t redeem them for flights on other carriers either. Southwest points can only be used for Southwest flights, and award tickets must be booked directly through Southwest.
The only exception is if you have a Southwest credit card, in which case you can use the More Rewards program to book international flights on other airlines like Air France, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta, and United. Just keep in mind that this usually gives you less value for your points.
