Can a flight be rebooked after a missed flight?

Rebooking after a missed flight: what fare rules allow and what it costs.

Quick answer

Often yes. Same-day rebooking on the airline's next available flight is commonly possible for a fee or free depending on fare and status, and leftover ticket value may be applied as a credit. Outcomes depend entirely on the airline's rules for your fare class.

Exceptions to expect

  • Basic economy tickets may forfeit value entirely on a no-show
  • Same-day confirmed changes are limited to the airline's own flights
  • Weather-waiver days suspend normal change fees
