How to Check Flight Change Policies and Fees

When booking a flight, you’ll find “Baggage & Policy Details” on the price page. Click it to view that flight’s ticket change and cancellation fees.

※ Whether ticket changes are allowed depends on the airline and the policies and terms of your booking.

Step 1: Find your itinerary in the Trip.com App

Open the Trip.com app, sign in to your account, then tap "My Trips" to view the details.

Step 2: Choose the itinerary you want to edit

Find the flight you want to change, then click "Manage My Booking".

Step 3: Cancel or change your trip

Choose whether to change or cancel your booking. If you’re unsure about the fare rules, click "Cancellation & Change Policy" to view the details.

Step 4: Select the flight you want to change

Select the flight you’d like to change, then pick a new departure date.

Step 5: Choose your new departure date

Select a new departure date on the calendar.

Step 5: Choose your new departure flight

Based on your new departure date, we’ll display the flights and fares available for that day. Choose the flight, departure time, and airline that best match your preferences.

Step 7: Confirm your new flight details

Once you’ve confirmed your flight, departure time, and airline, Trip.com’s “Return Old for New” program will automatically initiate the refund request for your original ticket after you book and pay for the new one.

Step 8: Confirm and Complete

The system will display the cost of your new ticket and the refund for your original ticket. Click "Confirm" to complete.

Step 9: Email Confirmation

Once confirmed, you’ll receive a new flight booking confirmation email and a refund confirmation email. The time it takes for the refund to post to your account depends on your bank or card issuer.

Change Your Flight on Trip.com | Change Fees

Change fees vary by flight and by the fare class you choose. To find the change fees on Trip.com, simply open the details page of the flight you want to book. Fees for cancellations and changes are calculated differently before and after departure, and you’ll be charged according to your flight’s status. If you need to change plans due to external factors like a delay or cancellation, please refer to the policy of the airline you’re flying with.

One more thing to keep in mind: if your change results in a new fare that’s higher than your original fare, you’ll need to pay the difference. And if you’ve already changed your ticket and want to change it again, airline rules say that any change fees paid for the earlier successful change are nonrefundable.

Change Your Flight on Trip.com | Free Flight Changes & Cancellations

When you book your flight, some fares include free changes and refunds.

If your flight ticket doesn’t include free changes or cancellations, you can add Trip.com’s Free Change & Cancellation service, which is much cheaper than the ticket’s standard change or cancellation fees.
