Q: Can I Change the times and dates of my tickets
A: Yes. There are different rules and fees associated with making changes to your ticket. Most airlines will waive a change fee if you have proof of the change, which is normally provided through your set of orders. Please review each airlines policy below for more information. In the end your best bet is to call the airline directly and explain that your are active duty and that your travel dates were changed by your command. They will most likely ask you to provide proof in writing. If you have any trouble with the first agent you speak with ask For their supervisor. If you have recently purchased your ticket (within the last 24 hours) you can call my MTG's Reservation Team at 1.888.853.7449 and they can assist you. MTG will not charge you a change fee unless it is mandated by the airline. Most tickets changed within 24 hours will not have a fee.
