BruceBanner Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi there...... i'm thinking about changing my flight date back to the UK. I'm due to fly at the end of January. But would like to stay maybe another month. I'm flying from Bangkok to Manchester on Finnair. I was just wondering how much it would cost. The website i booked the flight with want £10 to change the flight which is very reasonable. But looking at their website it says there could be other charges...i.e. the airline's charge and also possibly an increase in price of the ticket. I will need to make a call to UK, but jus wondered if anyone has changed their flight and the cost involved. Thank you very much for any replies......Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The £10 charge is just a handling charge. In my experience airlines will charge anything from £50 - £150 for a change and it all depends on which type of ticket you purchased in the first place. For example, there are various different grades of economy ticket. Lots of the cheapest tickets can't be changed at all. My recent Lufthansa flight purchase can be changed for any time up to a year after the initial flight for 150 Euro, that's if there are any seats available in the same price bracket.

BruceBanner Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Ok thanks for the replies....i jus wanted an idea of how much i'd be getting charged......Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkinhades Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I mostly fly with Emirates, and they charge £75 to change the ticket. They have an office in Bangkok, and it really quite simple to do by telephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thai Airways and the Middle east airlines are the cheapest to change generally but that assumes they have a seat in the price bracket you booked. If you are lucky and you are with them just the £50 + admin. If not, can be a couple of hundred quid +. Try to be flexible with rebook dates.

Ricardo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you're quoted a very-high price, but still wish to travel one month later, you might cinsider throwing-away the return-half of your Finnair-ticket, and buying a cheap one-way ticket with Air-Asia or Kuwait Airways or whoever ?

crazygreg44 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I used to change my fligths back to Europe relatively often, Lufthansa and Thai Airways charge 100 Euro for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roiethome Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I often change my flight dates with Thai Airways due to change in meetings or other plans, and have never been charged for this service. Just changed my return flight from Manila to Bangkok from 28th January to 27th February and received the new Eticket within ten minutes of my telephone call.

tw25rw Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If it's a cheap ticket, they sometimes don't let you change at all. Depends on the booking class and T&C of the ticket purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
