Move up program - If there is an open seat available on any earlier flight that departs on the same day as your originally scheduled departure, you may change to that flight and we will automatically confirm your reservation for $50 for flights within the 48 contiguous United States and $50 for flights to Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada and Alaska.
Delta Airlines $ 50.00
The same-day confirmed option allows you to change your flight time on the same day of travel for a fee of $50. To use the same-day confirmed option, you must confirm your new flight within 3 hours of the scheduled departure time. If you have a flexible fare (usually a refundable ticket), you may be able to change your itinerary without a fee.
Continental $ 50.00
Continental offers a special program for same-day flight changes, specifically those made within 24 hours of your scheduled departure. If you are on an unrestricted ticket, meaning your fare has no penalties for making changes, you are welcome to make changes free of charge so long as there are seats available.
If you are on a restricted ticket, meaning your fare allows changes for a penalty, you will be able to make flight changes within this 24-hour window for $50, or $25 for OnePass Platinum and Gold Elite members. This discounted change fee will apply to all itineraries wholly operated by Continental, including Continental Express*, Continental Connection* and Continental Micronesia. Even if there are no seats available for a confirmed reservation, you can still stand by. In these cases, the fee will still apply, but you will not be charged unless you actually get a seat on your alternate flight.
The same-day flight change option will be available within 24 hours before your original scheduled flight. Inside of this timeframe, you can try to take an alternate flight so long as it departs no more than 12 hours from when you are making the request.
