This means:
 
  • Some tickets especially the cheapest ones, might not allow for changes.
  • Modifications are usually possible for higher or flexible fares.
  • You may still owe a difference in fare even when no change fee applies.
 

What happens after you change your flight?

Once you choose a new flight, Alaska Airlines will:

  • Display fare differences - if any
  • Ask you to confirm before making the change
  • Instantly update the itinerary inside “My Trips” 
 
The details about your new flight will be on the app or website right after payment. 
 

Smooth Flight Changes

While the Alaska Airlines page focuses mainly on the technical steps, the following tips are in line with what the airline has instructed: 
 
  • Always check the conditions of the fare before you book. 
  • Keep your reservation code with you for speedy changes, if needed. 
  • For faster updates and notifications, please use the mobile app. 
  • Make sure the name on the booking is the same as your ID, because Alaska requires it for travel.
