The 24-Hour Flight Change Rule
One of the most important rules to understand is the 24-hour flexible booking policy. In compliance with US Department of Transportation guidelines, most tickets booked at least 7 days in advance can be changed or cancelled within 24 hours of purchase without penalty.
If you realize you made a mistake shortly after booking, call 1(833) 308-3305 immediately. We can correct dates, times, or even passenger names before the ticket "hardens" and penalties kick in.
Flight Change Fees Explained
The cost to change a flight varies significantly based on your ticket type, destination, and how close you are to the departure date. Here is a general breakdown:
| Booking Class | Change Fee | Same-Day Change |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Economy | Not Permitted (Usually) | N/A |
| Main Cabin / Standard | $0 - $200 + Fare Diff | $75 |
| Premium / Business | No Change Fee | Free (Space Permitting) |
Note: Even if the change fee is waived, you are always responsible for the difference in fare if the new flight is more expensive. Call 1(833) 308-3305 to get an exact quote for your specific itinerary.
How to Change Your Flight: A Step-by-Step Guide
There are multiple ways to modify your reservation. However, for the most secure and verifiable method, phone support is recommended.
Method 1: Call Independent Support (Recommended)
Dial 1(833) 308-3305. This is the fastest way to handle complex changes. Agents can see inventory across partner airlines and might find seats that aren't visible online. This is especially crucial for:
- Urgent same-day changes.
- Rebooking after a cancellation.
- Changing international multi-leg flights.
Method 2: Online (Limited)
You can log in to your account, find "My Trips," and select "Change Flight." Note that online systems often error out with complex bookings or if you have already checked in. If the button is greyed out, you must call 1(833) 308-3305.
Same-Day Flight Confirmation
Want to leave earlier? Same-day flight changes are great for business travelers. To qualify:
- The new flight must depart on the same calendar day.
- The route (origin and destination) must be the same.
- Space must be available in your original fare class.
To snatch up a seat on an earlier flight, call 1(833) 308-3305 as soon as you wake up. These seats go fast!
