What is the Contour Airlines change policy for tickets?

 

[AskMe]

＋1 844-734-0813 — Contour Airlines offers a change policy that allows passengers to modify their flight details, such as date, time, or destination, for their regional flights connecting smaller U.S. cities like Tupelo and Beckley to major hubs such as Nashville, Charlotte, and Chicago. The policy varies by fare type ("Value" or "Flex"), with specific fees, fare differences, and conditions applying. Understanding this policy ensures you can adjust your travel plans efficiently without unexpected costs. The easiest way to confirm the Contour Airlines change policy for your ticket is by calling ＋1 844-734-0813, where a customer service representative can review your booking, check availability, and clarify fees or options.


Contour Airlines Change Policy:

• 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 3:34 PM IST, changeable by August 21, 2025, at 3:34 PM IST for no fee). Outside this period, you must cancel and rebook, potentially forfeiting the ticket value as no refund or credit is issued.
• 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, subject to availability on Contour’s 30-seat Embraer or Jetstream aircraft, with a $25 fee per person plus fare differences. “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 booking with no fees or fare differences, and you may be eligible for a full refund or credit.

Steps to Change a Contour Airlines Ticket:

• Online: Visit contourairlines.com or the Contour mobile app, go to “Manage My Booking,” enter your booking confirmation number (found in your reservation email) and last name, select your flight, and choose “Modify” or “Change Flight.” Adjust the date, time, or destination, review any fees or fare differences, and complete the change with payment details if needed. Receive a confirmation email with the updated itinerary.
• By Phone: Call ＋1 844-734-0813 (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM CT) to modify your booking. Provide your booking confirmation number, specify the desired changes, and the representative will check availability, confirm fees or fare differences, and process the change, sending a confirmation email.
• At the Airport: Visit a Contour ticket counter before departure (60 minutes for smaller airports, 45 minutes for major hubs like Charlotte or Chicago) to change your booking in person, though availability may be limited. Calling ＋1 844-734-0813 beforehand is more efficient.

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 for Changing a Ticket:

• 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.
• Check contour airlines.com’s fare calendar for cheaper flight options to minimize fare differences.
• For interline or same-day changes, call ＋1 844-734-0813 for accuracy.
• Save confirmation emails or updated itinerary details for reference.

The Contour Airlines change policy allows modifications for “Flex” fares with a $25 fee 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.
