Modify a flight booking

Use this procedure to make changes to your flight including departure or arrival location, departure time, or seat selection. You can also use this process to update traveler information (TSA number, redress number, loyalty programs, etc.). You may make changes to your flight booking even when you are waitlisted for an upgrade (e.g., seat upgrade, cabin class upgrade). 

Note: In some cases, airlines do not permit a flight change. For example, if a traveler is already checked in or when the fare rules indicate that a flight is non-exchangeable. If a traveler attempts to change a flight that cannot be modified, the reason why this is not possible will be displayed.

1. Log in to the Online Booking Tool. 
2. Click Trips on the main menu. The Trips page will be displayed. 
3. Click the Upcoming tab. 
4. Locate the trip that contains the flight you wish to make changes to and select it. The trip details will be displayed showing the flights included in this trip.

If the seat you selected has an additional charge, you can pay for it by selecting the same payment method used for the original booking (if enabled) or a personal payment method.
