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.
If you have a Southwest credit card, you can use points to book international flights through the More Rewards program. Partners include Air France, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta, and United. Keep in mind that this redemption method usually offers less value per point.
