Clear limits
Who can change your ticket—and what may block it
Options depend on available seats, the ticket issuer, airline rules, and the law.
- A ticketing agency may not be able to access a ticket it did not issue.
- Name changes are not the same as correcting a minor spelling error and are often restricted.
- New flights remain subject to availability.
- No change, waiver, or price can be guaranteed.
Helpful context
Flight change questions
Keep sensitive information off web forms and email. Share payment details only through the identified agency's secure process.
What is a fare difference?
It is the new price minus the value of the old ticket. It can apply even when an airline has no separate change fee.
Can you change a ticket bought from another website?
Possibly not. The original airline or agency often needs to service the ticket. A specialist should first determine whether the ticketing agency can access it.
What if the airline changed my schedule?
Different options may apply when the carrier made a significant change. Keep the notice and review alternatives before accepting or changing anything.
