Can I Change My Flight Date or Time?

Quick answer

In most cases, yes — the date or time of a domestic flight can be changed, subject to the airline's change policy and your fare type. Some fares allow changes for a fee plus any fare difference; others are more restrictive. The exact cost for your ticket is confirmed by the airline's rules before any change is made.

Date versus time changes

Moving to a different date usually means repricing against current fares on the new day. Moving to a different time on the same day is often cheaper — many airlines treat it as a same-day change with its own fee structure. Both depend on seats being available in an eligible fare.

What to check first

• Your fare type — basic economy fares are the most restricted
• Whether the airline charges a change fee, a fare difference, or both
• Same-day change options if only the time needs to move
• Baggage and seat selections, which can carry over differently after a change

Getting the full picture

The total cost of a change is the sum of airline fees plus any fare difference — which can vary by the hour as fares move. A live search compares your alternatives with current pricing so the decision is made on real numbers.
