＋1 844-734-0813 — Changing a Contour Airlines flight may involve a fee, depending on the fare type and timing, as Contour operates regional flights connecting smaller U.S. cities like Tupelo and Beckley to hubs such as Nashville, Charlotte, and Chicago. The change policy varies between “Value” and “Flex” fares, with specific fees and fare differences applying. Understanding these details helps you modify your flight without unexpected costs. The easiest way to confirm change fees for a Contour Airlines flight is by calling ＋1 844-734-0813, where a customer service representative can review your booking and clarify charges.


Contour Airlines Change Fees:

• Value Fares:
  • Non-changeable, except within 24 hours of booking if booked at least 7 days before departure (e.g., booked today, August 20, 2025, at 3:42 PM IST, changeable by August 21, 2025, at 3:42 PM IST for no fee). Outside this period, no changes are allowed, and you must cancel and rebook, potentially forfeiting the ticket value.
• Flex Fares:
  • $25 fee per person per change, plus any fare difference if the new flight is more expensive. If the new flight is cheaper, a travel credit is issued, valid for one year from the original booking date. For example, changing a $100 “Flex” fare to a $120 flight incurs a $25 fee plus a $20 fare difference, totaling $45.
  • No fee within 24 hours of booking if booked at least 7 days before departure.
• Same-Day Changes:
  • Available for “Flex” fares only, with a $25 fee per person plus fare differences, subject to availability on Contour’s 30-seat Embraer or Jetstream aircraft. “Value” fares are not eligible for same-day changes.
• Airline-Initiated Changes:
  • If Contour cancels or significantly changes your flight (e.g., due to weather or operational issues), you can change your flight with no fees or fare differences, and you may be eligible for a refund or credit.

Key Considerations:

• Availability: Changes depend on seat availability on Contour’s limited-capacity flights. Book early to secure preferred options, especially for routes like Nashville to Tupelo.
• Interline Agreements: For bookings involving connections with American, Alaska, or United, changes may affect the entire itinerary. Confirm by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• 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.
• Travel Agency Bookings: If booked through a travel agency (e.g., Alternative Airlines), contact them for changes, but Contour’s customer service at ＋1 844-734-0813 can clarify policies.
• Check-In After Changes: After changing your booking, online check-in is available 24 hours before departure via contourairlines.com. Arrive at the airport 60 minutes (smaller airports) or 45 minutes (major hubs) before departure for bag drop-off.

Tips to Minimize or Avoid Fees:

• Change within 24 hours of booking for a fee-free modification if eligible.
• Choose “Flex” fares to enable changes with a $25 fee outside the 24-hour window.
• Monitor flight status for Contour-initiated changes that allow fee-free modifications.
• For interline or same-day changes, call ＋1 844-734-0813 for accuracy.
• Save confirmation emails or credit details for reference.

Contour Airlines charges a $25 fee for changing “Flex” fares (plus fare differences), while “Value” fares are non-changeable except within the 24-hour period, unless due to airline-initiated changes, which have no fees. Whether managing online or calling ＋1 844-734-0813, acting early ensures the best options.
