Change Your Flight

We understand that your plans may change. We have simplified travel by eliminating change fees for tickets originating from the United States, Canada and the Caribbean to anywhere in the world (excluding Basic Economy tickets).

It‘s easy to cancel, make changes or rebook your flight online prior to departure in My Trips. Tickets not changed or canceled prior to departure will have no remaining value. If you change your ticket, sometimes your new flight costs more than your original flight. If this happens, you will need to pay the difference in price.

With a non-refundable ticket, you can change your flight when you pay a change fee of $0-$400, depending on your travel route, plus the price difference. As a reminder, Basic Economy tickets are non-refundable and non-changeable in most cases, but may be canceled for a partial eCredit.
