Changing Flight Dates
« on: June 27, 2012, 01:56:38 PM »
I'm currently working on trying to switch the dates of the second-half of a round-trip ticket. I flew to Israel through KLM with a stopover in Amsterdam. My current flight for the way back is through Air France/Delta, with a stopover in France for July 19, which I'd like to switch to sometime next week. I spoke to an Air France representative who told me that the fee to change is $250 plus change in fare. She told me the cheapest I could find, because my original flight was so cheap ($875 round trip!) that the cheapest I can rebook for is over $700! Anyone know any way I can somehow get a cheaper rebooking???

Anyone know the fee off hand for changing an El-Al  flight going from tlv to nyc?
 Want to book it change it to a earlier date.

  If this flight was bought through a travel agent should it be changed through them as it will be cheaper or should I go directly through the airline?

Thanks!

Y is $140 Change fee, your agent might charge a fee on top of that. Elal will charge $140+$50

Depands on the flight load, the $140 is the penalty, you also have to pay fare difference of applicable

meaning to say it might be cheaper for me to book a  new ticket and forget about this old one? Obviously I'll first compare them.

Actually just called up El-Al  and they told me for tonight would be an additional $50+$220 as the price in tonight's flight is a bit more then when I booked it for, versus tomorrow morning it would be exact same price plus additional $220 for changing my flight date.

Wonder if I paid more for my flight then what the flight is tomorrow would they give me a discount in the fees?
