Things to know

Before changing your flights, there are some things you need to consider.

  • Check your Fare Type for the rules that apply to your flights and any fees that may apply. You may also need to pay a fare difference.
  • Any changes you make to your flights will apply to every passenger in your booking. If you want to change flights for individual passengers, you'll first need to separate them from the booking. These passengers will be placed in a new booking with a different booking reference and then you can make the changes you need.
  • We're here to help. If you don't have access to make the change online, call your local Qantas officechange booking fee may apply.
