Some new changes creeping in with the airlines – been around for a while however just wanted to highlight it for you. When you have lets say a year return ticket and your departure date comes up, you have to change it however do not know the date, well be sure to change it as in the rules most airlines if you do a no show on your ticket you loose it. Now also be aware that you have to have a new date , the ticket reissued or re validated which ever is the case, here is an extract of the rules for your info.
ONE DATE CHANGE IS PERMITTED FREE OF CHARGE.
CHARGE DOES NOT APPLY TO INFANTS UNDER 2 YEARS OF
AGE NOT OCCUPYING A SEAT.
CHANGES PERMITTED TO DATE OF TRAVEL OR CONNECTING
POINT ONLY.
NO CHANGE PERMITTED TO ORIGIN/DESTINATION/STOPOVER
POINTS. CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN THE ORIGINAL PNR.
RESERVATIONS MUST BE CHANGED ON OR BEFORE THE
ORIGINAL TRAVEL DATE SHOWN ON THE FLIGHT COUPON
CONCERNED. CHANGES MADE AFTER THAT DATE ARE NOT
PERMITTED AND THE TICKET HAS NO VALUE.
Naturally the free date change is ust for this specific ticket, now even if you do not know your date you need to change your ticket and yes you guessed it use your free change or pay for it which ever is the case and then pay when you want to change it for the real date that you want to fly. Be aware as you cannot cancel, leave it open and then book it when you want as it will be worthless and unusable!
