Aer Lingus is the flag carrier airline of Ireland and the second largest airline in the country. The airline flies to over 93 global destinations.

As is typical of plans, they do change unexpectedly which may lead to you changing your Aer Lingus flight. Lucky for customers of the airline, Aer Lingus have made a change of booking a very short and straightforward process.

The Aer Lingus flight change policy is relatively extensive but also self explanatory. If you made your booking through the Aer Lingus website, you can alter travel dates, times, destinations or upgrade your fare type through the website's 'Manage Trip' facility.

Flight change terms and conditions

If the booking was made through partner airline connections or the Aer Lingus reservation team, you will have to contact Aer Lingus directly to make a change. It is also crucial to note that any travel extras bought directly from Aer Lingus must be rebooked when changing flights as they are not automatically transferred.

You have up to two hours before the scheduled departure time to change your flight. Failure to do so will lead to forfeiting of the ticket's costs.

You also should know that changes in flight schedule are subject to change fees. You may also have to add funds if there is a fare difference between the original flight and the new one.

If the fare of the new flight is lower than that of the original flight there is no refund or travel credit offered by Aer Lingus.

Flight changes on Aer Lingus are only allowed for flights with the same country of origin. Moreover, travel must be done within a year of the ticket's purchase date.

If you booked your flight via a third party such as a travel agent or another airline, you can only cancel or modify the booking by contacting the third party directly.

After a successful flight change on Aer Lingus, you can have the same seats as you had on the original flight or if unavailable, similarly positioned seats. However, the seat fee is not refundable if the seat is unavailable.

You can also change the name of a booking on an Aer Lingus itinerary provided albeit at a fee. The change will, however, affect all flights in the itinerary.

The changes to flights on Aer Lingus are also subject to the fare type. Different fare types face different fees for changing them which can be acquired from the Aer Lingus website.

To change a flight on Aer Lingus is a simple process as stated earlier and includes the following steps:

1. Launch your web browser and open the Aer Lingus website

2. Go to 'My Trips'

3. Input your name and booking reference number which will be on the confirmatory email you received after booking your flight

4. Click 'Manage Trip' when the booking is presented

5. Change any aspects of the flight or the entire flight depending on your needs

6. Pay any change fees or price differences in fare prices and proceed to checkout

7. Confirm the details of the new flight and click 'Done' to confirm.
