Alaska Airlines Date Change Policy: What's Allowed and How to Change Your Flight

Plans changed? Alaska Airlines makes it simple to update your trip with a flight date change on eligible tickets. Most fares don't have a standard change fee, but you may need to pay the fare difference if your new flight costs more. Some tickets may have special rules or restrictions.

THE CORE DISTINCTION

Standard Date Change vs. Same-Day Flight Change

Alaska Airlines offers different options depending on when you need to update your trip.

Standard Date Change

A standard flight date change lets you move your trip to a different day before departure. Most eligible tickets do not have a change fee, but you may need to pay the fare difference if your new flight costs more.

Same-Day Flight Change

A same day flight change lets eligible passengers switch to another Alaska Airlines flight on the same day. This depends on your ticket type, route, and available seats.
