Can you get a price adjustment if your airline ticket goes on sale after you purchase it?

sweetsxyazn2002 asked:


I am planning on purchasing an ticket to Austin, Tx from Grand Rapids for St. Patty’s weekend. I have seen some tickets that run $255 on Yahoo Travels for this weekend. If I purchase a ticket then it goes on sale, can I get a price adjustment for the difference if the fare goes on sale?

Does anyone have any tips on finding cheap airline tickets? Grand Rapids is does not have a BIG HUB where lots of airlines fly out…Thanks for anyone who can give me any tips!!!

    No you can’t. The idea here is you’re paying the extra price for the security of thought that you know you have a seat on the plane. If you got the ticket last minute, you might get it cheaper, but you might not get it at all…

    You can not get a price adjustment. Airline ticket prices change all the time.

    Don’t leave or come back on a weekend (fri, sat, sun) The best deals are always on the weekdays, especially during a holiday!

    You could, but it will cost you a change fee (typically $100) and you would get the remainder back as a credit that you must use within one year. Once you figure in those factors, the price would have to drop to $154 or less. That would be highly unlikely.

    Once you have purchased a ticket then you can not then get a cost reembursement if they later put it on sale.
    Once you have bought it you agree to the terms and conditions for that fare and ticket.
    Airlines charge different prices for all the seats and they go up in price as they sell.

    It depends on the airline. Airtran will. If you see a lower price for the same flight, they’ll put the difference between what you paid and what the flight is currently selling for into a credit file thats good up to a year from the date of purchase.
    This is only available if the sale price is directly from Airtran, they won’t price match a lower fare from a travel agency or travelocity etc.
    Not all airlines do this, but its worth a try. Call reservations.

    No you can’t have a price adjustment if prices go down but don’t wait too much longer to book the dates you want because holiday weekends tend to go up in prices the closer you get.
