When it comes to changing your flight, airline policies and flexibility can vary significantly. Some airlines offer more lenient options, allowing free changes or refunds, especially if your booking was made with a flexible fare. Many airlines also offer a 24-hour grace period after booking, where you can change or cancel your flight without incurring a fee.
On the other hand, more restrictive fare types like basic economy might come with stricter policies, making changes costly or even impossible. It's important to check the specific airline’s policies before making a booking to ensure you understand what’s allowed, and under what conditions, so you can make adjustments to your plans if needed without breaking the bank.
