We have had some of our customers in the past need to change the flight that they booked for their son or daughter. Before Covid-19, some of the airlines charged what we thought was an exorbitant fee for simply changing one or both of the dates of travel.For example, Delta used to charge $200 PER KID flying! So if a parent needed to adjust the date and had three children flying, he or she needed to pay $600 PLUS the increase of airfare if there was any.
Fortunately for us who needed to give the bad news to our customers and the parents or grandparents who needed to pay, things changed when Covid-19 arrived and stayed. Airlines who booked flights for minors realized that it just wasn’t fair anymore. Parents simply didn’t know if their child would be able to fly when the time came. All airlines waived the dreaded change.
Here ar Weflykids we shoot out quotes via texts and give options to people wanting to fly their child over the phone. At times, the parent had booked a flight for their minor already with an airline and was checking with us just to be sure that they got a decent deal. And once in a while they were shocked to hear our price! So they would ask if they could cancel their booking and book with us! If it was less than 24 hours since they booked that flight for their kid they would receive a refund. If not that change fee often didn’t make the change worth it.
So far most airlines still do not charge for changing an itinerary for a minor. And hopefully it will stay that way. So don’t be afraid to check with us even if you have booked that flight for your child days ago. There’s a chance that our price will be lower and our service will definitely be better!
