What is a same-day flight change?

A same-day flight change lets you move to an earlier or later flight on the same day of travel for a reduced fee (or free for elite-status passengers). Availability is limited and subject to open seats on the alternate flight. Call us as early as possible to secure same-day change availability.

Flight Change Policies: What to Expect

Airline change policies vary significantly by carrier and fare class. Here's a general overview of what most major US airlines allow in 2024:

🇺🇸

Domestic Flights

Delta, United, American, and Alaska have eliminated change fees on Main Cabin and above domestic tickets. You only pay the fare difference if your new flight costs more. Basic Economy tickets remain non-changeable on most carriers.

🌍

International Flights

International change fees vary. Many carriers still charge $150–$400 per person for international itinerary changes, in addition to any fare difference. Premium cabin tickets often have more flexible rules.

⏰

24-Hour Free Change

If you booked directly with an airline, US DOT rules require airlines to allow cancellation or change within 24 hours of booking for free — as long as the departure is more than 7 days away. This is one of the best windows to act if you realize you need to change.

🎫

Basic Economy Restrictions

Basic Economy tickets are typically non-refundable and non-changeable. If you're stuck with a Basic Economy ticket you need to change, call us — in some cases, upgrades or exceptions are possible during irregular operations or with travel waivers.
