Can I change my flight after booking?
Flight changes after booking depend on fare rules — here is the general picture.
Quick answer
In most cases yes, but the cost depends on your fare class. Standard economy fares are usually changeable for an airline change fee plus any fare difference; basic economy is often the most restricted. The airline that issued the ticket controls the final outcome.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Basic economy fares may not allow changes at all
- Airline-initiated schedule changes usually qualify for fee-free rebooking
- Within 24 hours of booking, US airlines generally allow a free cancel-or-change window
