Need help with a flight you’ve already booked?

Often yes, though what is possible depends on the airline, the fare type, the route and the conditions attached to your booking. A change may involve a fare difference, an airline change fee, or both. We can help you understand which rules apply to your ticket before you decide.

Many airlines allow a minor spelling correction, and some treat a larger change as a new booking. Rules vary by airline, fare type, route and booking conditions, and the airline makes the final decision. We can help you understand what your airline's published policy says.

It depends on why the flight was missed, the fare you bought and the airline's own policy. Some tickets allow rebooking on a later service, sometimes for a fee or a fare difference; others have no value once the flight has departed. We can help you work out what applies to your situation.

Cancellation rules vary widely. Some fares are refundable, some hold value as a credit, and some are non-refundable beyond government taxes. Timing matters too, as several airlines allow cancellation without penalty within a short window after booking. We can help you read your ticket's conditions.

Most airlines allow baggage to be added after booking, usually at a price that differs from buying it at the time of booking, and often cheaper than at the airport. Allowances and charges vary by airline, route and fare.

Usually, though availability and cost depend on the airline, the cabin and the fare. Some seats carry a charge, some are included, and some are only assigned at check-in. We can help you understand the options on your booking.

Many airlines permit an infant to be added to an existing booking, subject to availability and the airline's own requirements around age, documentation and the number of infants per flight. Rules vary by airline and route.

Some airlines allow a pet to be added after booking, subject to their carriage rules, cabin limits, container requirements and route restrictions. Requirements vary significantly by airline and destination, and approval rests with the airline.

No. Airline-imposed charges are set and collected by the airline. Fare differences, change fees, cancellation penalties and other airline charges may apply to your booking depending on its conditions, and are separate from anything discussed with us.
