Should I cancel my flight or change it

Due to the pandemic situation in effect, everyone is changing their travel plans. If you are also stuck between the thought of whether to change your flight or cancel it, then this article will help you decide.

Is it cheaper to cancel a flight or change it?

Before deciding on cancelling and making flight changes, go through the below-mentioned points to decide better:

• To begin with, cancellation or rescheduling of a flight depends upon the traveler and their preferred schedule

• Get an understanding of your booking- if it is a round-trip or one-way journey

• If you have booked a round trip flight, the most intelligent way would be to pay the applicable charges and reschedule your flight rather than cancelling it

• But, if you need to amend the return part of your round trip, you may want to book a new one-way flight to avoid any cancellation charges

• Additionally, if you need to move the timing of your flight, most airlines offer mainly two options- standby and calendar day confirmed change- which might cost you up to $100

• For the same-day confirmed change, you are required to pay a certain amount and book a seat on another flight of your choice. But if you will cancel it, you might have to pay a huge cancellation fee

• Furthermore, if you are choosing the standby option, you would have to pay a minimum amount to place your ticket on the waiting list while keeping your current reservation
