2. The airline will charge fees if the passenger opts to make changes via phone, email, offices, or airport locations. These applicable fees will be in addition to the charges specified in the fare rules.
3. Passengers with Flex Fares are not entitled to pay a change fee for changing flights.
4. The saver fares are subject to a fee and any applicable fare difference between the original and new flights booked.
5. All the bookings made through a third-party agent can be changed by contacting the agency. Passengers can get in touch with the agent of the agency to check for the available flight options.
