How to exchange an air ticket for another date. Is it possible to exchange non-refundable air tickets for another date? What is the compensation for a returned ticket?

Ticket purchases are often spontaneous, and when the time comes, the passenger realizes that he cannot fly, so many people are tormented by the question, is it possible to reissue a ticket for another person? The answer will not be obvious, since such an opportunity is not always available. According to the rules, airlines indicate the client’s personal data, since this is how an agreement is concluded between the air carrier and the passenger, so it is not always possible to simply change the information.

Everyone should remember that return conditions depend on the company; not everyone allows you to return a purchase. It may also depend on a separate tariff, for example, at Pobeda you are allowed to pay extra, and then the tariff becomes refundable.

In special cases, you can submit your itinerary receipt and get money back even from a non-refundable fare:

• Provide a medical report that confirms the passenger's serious illness or close relative.
• In the event of the death of a close relative, the certificate must be provided to the company.
• You can get a refund if the company itself delayed the flight for several hours, and because of this the passenger did not have time to connect, or his plans changed.

Note! If you present a certificate of illness, this must be done before the end of check-in for the flight, and the certificate must contain the official stamps of doctors.

How to reissue an air ticket for another person?

Often the problem of returning a ticket can be solved by reissuing it to another person. Changing passenger data on an airline ticket is available from many airlines, but you will need to pay extra for such a service. In fact, it will be similar to the process of renting and buying again. In order to exchange and transfer it to another person, you must:

1. You can contact the airline; this can be done at the airport counter, in the office, or negotiate online.
2. The passenger must have a passport and the ticket itself.
3. Airline representatives cancel the purchase within a few minutes, but the money will be returned to the customer within a few days.
4. Another passenger, after cancellation, can repurchase on the same airline.

Some companies simplify the procedure, so you only need to pay extra for each change. For example, with Pobeda Airlines, rebooking for another person costs from 4,000 rubles.* This option is reasonable; if the ticket was more expensive, then the refund amount can be divided in half with the second passenger. But the exchange can be made no later than 4 hours before departure at the call center or 40 minutes at the airport counter.

Boarding passes

Is it possible to change a flight ticket to another date?

Another frequently asked question is how to change a plane ticket if you are not satisfied with the departure date.

Not all airlines are ready to make any changes, since this is, in fact, a contract, and changing its terms and replacing information is not beneficial to the company.

This must be provided for at the time of purchase; for example, many write this in the tariff.

Note! Inscriptions like “changes are not permitted” means that the fare is non-refundable and any changes are prohibited, and an inscription like “Charg eeur 30.00” indicates the amount of the fine for any changes.

This means that an exchange of a ticket for another date is available only if:

• the airline fine has been paid;
• exchange is available if there are availability on the selected date;
• the fare and class of service must correspond to the previous ticket.

At the same time, flights purchased as part of a promotion can rarely be rebooked for another date or any changes can be made to them.

Also, the ability to make changes depends on the tariff. For example, Aeroflot has a “Premium” tariff, in which you can make any changes without additional payments, and this can be done even after the plane has taken off.

Note! You can even exchange or return a ticket that was purchased with bonuses from the airline, and in this case, the company must return the points to your account, but you should read about the conditions for each airline separately.

Ticket exchange process

How to exchange an air ticket purchased online?

There are several ways to return an air ticket to the company:

• Visit a ticket office or airline office. This method is considered the simplest; by visiting the company’s office, you can return the ticket and your money in the near future.
• Call the call center. You can find the airline’s phone number on the official website; employees will help solve the problem as soon as possible.
• Contact the airline by email. This must be done in advance, since not all airlines respond to letters 24 hours a day.

All this is suitable for returning a regular or electronic ticket, but how else can you return a ticket purchased online?

• On the airline's website. Most often, this can be done in your Personal Account on the website, where all the orders that were made by the buyer are located.
• On the intermediary's website. Often purchases are made through ticket search engines, and they redirect the client to an intermediary site. You can also return your ticket there; to do this, you should also go to your Personal Account, in the “Exchange/Return” column.

Note! An electronic ticket is the same document, so you can return it at the ticket office at the airport, you don’t even have to print it out. It does not matter whether it was purchased on the official website or on the website of an intermediary.

How to change the departure date of an electronic ticket?

The procedure for changing the date on an electronic ticket is the same as with a simple one.

You can change the date:

• on the official site. Often you can find a form there, by filling out which you can change the date and time of the flight, and the answer will be sent by email.
• There is often no such form on the intermediary’s website, so you need to contact the airline directly.
• negotiate with employees by phone, mail, or directly contact the company’s cash desk.

But often the exchange online tickets is not available on airline websites; for example, Aeroflot has it. Therefore, it is easier to visit the sales office and solve the problem there. To do this, the client will need:

• Passport;
• Itinerary receipt, which arrives by mail after purchase;
• Money to pay the fine.

General recommendations if a passenger needs to change the date, time of departure, or change flight

Every passenger must remember that:

• You cannot just change the data on the ticket; there must be serious reasons for this.
• To reissue a ticket to another person, you must first sell it, and the second person must buy it.
• The closer the departure time, the larger the commission the company can charge.
• It must be returned or exchanged no later than the registration deadline.
• When a passenger wants to change a ticket less than 24 hours before departure, he can usually get 75% of the amount paid back. This includes fines, fees and commissions of payment systems.
• There is no point in changing data for an additional cost with a cheap air carrier; it is easier to return it to the ticket office and buy a new one. For example, a ticket from the economy company Pobeda costs 999 rubles, changing the date costs 2,000 rubles, issuing a ticket for another person costs 4,000 rubles.*
• The airline returns the money either to the bank card with which the purchase was made, or in cash after a certain period.

Many people are concerned about how much money the airline will return for re-booking or refund, here are some features:

• An air ticket purchased at full price, without promotional codes and discounts, can be returned without any problems at a refundable rate for serious reasons. If you do this in advance, AK will return almost the full cost without penalties.
• Purchased under a special offer is usually not returned; some airlines may rebook it onto another flight on a different date or at a different time.
• The “NON REF” mark means that the funds will be returned only when the day of the flight arrives.

You should always carefully read the tariff information, especially if it is non-refundable. Such a document can only be exchanged if:

• The flight was cancelled.
• The company is seriously delaying the flight.
• When, due to some circumstances, a passenger was not boarded on a flight that had previously been paid for.
• In case of illness.
• Upon the death of a relative.

A non-refundable fare can be saved by non-departure insurance, which almost all airlines offer when booking a ticket; with it, a tourist can get his money back.

In addition, there is such a thing as a partial refund. A passenger who overslept or missed his flight. The full cost cannot be returned, but the company can return part of the flight for a canceled flight, if this was provided for in the rules.

All requests for refund of non-refundable airline fares can be considered for up to a month, and cash arrive within a few days.

Flights

Changes to air documents are a very complex process that is not always available and depends on the decision of the airline. Not all carriers will agree to change passenger data and reissue a ticket, so it is better for tourists to read all the information about the fares of specific airlines in advance and adjust their plans so that the flight does not have to be canceled or reissued boarding pass to another person.

Changing a flight date is much easier than changing your name and passport details, so it’s better to think through and calculate everything in advance. In any case, if a situation arises where the ticket needs to be returned, you should first consult with employees and representatives of the company where the flight was purchased. Make it easier over the phone hotline, sales offices are also indicated on the websites.

*Prices are current as of July 2018.

However, there are a number of cases where a return is considered involuntary, and after confirming the reasons for the return, we will refund your money. The return is considered forced in the following cases:

• changes by the airline to the transportation route,
• the flight is not scheduled,

• failed transportation of a passenger caused by the passenger’s delay at the airport due to the length of his inspection, if during the inspection of baggage or the personal search of the passenger no substances and objects prohibited for transportation were found,
• incorrect ticket issuance by the carrier or its authorized agent,
• sudden illness of a passenger, or illness or death of a member of his family traveling with him on the aircraft, which is confirmed by medical documents. A refund may be considered forced if the illness was sudden and continued on the day of departure, provided that the carrier is notified of this before the end of the passenger check-in time for the flight indicated on the ticket. These circumstances must be confirmed by a certificate of incapacity for work or other genuine medical document issued by a medical institution with an appropriate license.
