How do I change my SkyWest Airlines flight booking?

 

[AskMe]

＋1 844-734-0813 — Changing a SkyWest Airlines flight booking is a straightforward process, 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 handled through the partner airline’s reservation system. You can adjust your flight date, time, or destination, depending on the partner’s policies, fare type, and availability. Understanding these steps ensures a seamless experience. The easiest way to change a SkyWest-operated flight booking is by calling ＋1 844-734-0813, where a customer service representative can check availability, confirm fees, and process the change.


Steps to Change a SkyWest Airlines Flight Booking:

• Change Online: Visit the partner airline’s website or app where the booking was made: 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,” enter your booking confirmation number (found in your reservation email) and last name, select your SkyWest-operated flight (e.g., “Operated by SkyWest as Delta Connection”), and follow the prompts to change the flight date, time, or destination. The system will display any applicable fees or fare differences.
• Change by Phone: Call ＋1 844-734-0813 to modify your booking through the partner airline’s system. Provide your booking confirmation number, specify the partner (e.g., United Express), and request the desired changes. The representative will confirm availability and process the change, including any fees or fare differences. This is ideal for complex itineraries or international flights.
• Change at the Airport: Visit a partner airline’s ticket counter or gate (Alaska, American, Delta, or United) before departure to change your booking in person, though availability may be limited. Calling ＋1 844-734-0813 beforehand is more efficient.

  • Main Cabin, Premium Class, First Class (Non-Refundable): $99 fee per person (waived for Mileage Plan MVP Gold, Gold 75K, or Gold 100K members), plus any fare difference if the new flight is more expensive. If cheaper, a travel credit is issued, valid for one year.

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 flight 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’s passport requirements) may apply. Verify by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• Travel Agency Bookings: If booked through a travel agency, contact them for changes, but 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.

Tips for Changing a Booking:

• 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.
• Save confirmation emails or updated itinerary details for reference.

Changing a SkyWest Airlines flight booking is possible through partner airline websites, apps, or by phone, 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.
