Can I change my SkyWest Airlines reservation online?

 

[AskMe]

＋1 844-734-0813 — Yes, you can change your SkyWest Airlines reservation online, but since SkyWest operates as a regional carrier for major airlines like Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines under brands such as Alaska SkyWest, Delta Connection, United Express, or American Eagle, modifications are processed through the partner airline’s website or mobile app. You can adjust your flight date, time, or destination, depending on the partner’s policies, fare type, and availability. Understanding the process ensures a seamless experience for managing your booking across the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. The easiest way to change a SkyWest-operated reservation online is by using the partner airline’s platform or calling ＋1 844-734-0813, where a customer service representative can confirm availability, fees, and assist with changes.


Steps to Change a SkyWest Airlines Reservation Online:

• Access the Partner Airline’s Website or App: Visit the website or app of the partner airline where you booked your SkyWest-operated flight: Alaska Airlines (alaskaair.com), American Airlines (aa.com), Delta Air Lines (delta.com), or United Airlines (united.com). Go to “Manage Trips” or “My Trips.”
• Locate Your Booking: Enter your booking confirmation number (found in your reservation email) and last name to find your SkyWest-operated flight (e.g., marked as “Operated by SkyWest as Delta Connection”).
• Modify the Reservation: Select your flight and choose “Modify” or “Change Flight.” Adjust the flight date, time, or destination, then review available flights. The system will display any applicable fees or fare differences based on the partner’s fare rules.
• Confirm Changes: Review the changes, including any fees or fare differences, and complete the process by providing payment details if needed. You’ll receive a confirmation email with the updated itinerary.

Key Considerations:

• Airline-Initiated Changes: If the partner airline changes or cancels your SkyWest-operated flight due to weather, operational issues, or significant schedule changes (e.g., over 90 minutes for Delta, 3 hours for Alaska), you can change your reservation online without fees or fare differences in most cases.
• Same-Day Changes: For Main Cabin or higher fares, same-day changes may cost $50–$99 (e.g., Delta, United), but elite members (e.g., Delta Diamond/Platinum, Alaska MVP Gold) may qualify for free same-day changes or standby, subject to availability. Confirm by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• International Flights: Change rules for SkyWest-operated flights to Canada or Mexico follow partner policies, but destination-specific regulations (e.g., Mexico requires a passport valid for 6 months) may apply. Verify by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• Travel Agency Bookings: If booked through a travel agency, contact them for changes, as online modifications may not be available. The partner airline’s customer service at ＋1 844-734-0813 can clarify policies.
• Fare Differences: Even with no change fee, you may pay a fare difference if the new flight is pricier; if cheaper, you receive a credit valid for one year (e.g., changing a $100 Delta Connection ticket to a $130 flight with a $99 fee costs $129).

Tips for Changing Online:

• Use the partner’s “Manage Trips” section for quick changes if your itinerary is simple.
• Change within 24 hours (or 7 days for Delta) of booking for a fee-free modification if eligible.
• Check the partner’s low fare calendar for cheaper flight options to minimize fare differences.
• For international or same-day changes, call ＋1 844-734-0813 for accuracy, as online systems may have limitations.
• Save confirmation emails or updated itinerary details for reference.

Changing your SkyWest Airlines reservation online is possible through the partner airline’s website or app, with fees of $99–$200 for non-refundable fares unless waived by elite status or within the 24-hour policy. Whether managing online or calling ＋1 844-734-0813, acting early ensures the best options.
