Same-Day Flight Changes
We’re here to help you make Same-Day Ticket Changes. These changes mean that you’re making a flight change within 24 hours of your original scheduled departure when flying within the United States, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some tickets, such as Basic Economy fares and tickets for international travel, are not eligible for Same-Day Ticket Changes. All Same-Day Ticket Changes are subject to availability.
