How Do I Change My Flight on Aer Lingus?

Introduction

Are you planning to change your Aer Lingus flight? You may be able to do this if you modify the flight up to 2 hours before departure. You may be able to change the time, date, or destination, but you can't change the origin airport or switch between flights within Transatlantic or Europe. You may also need to pay any applicable change fees and the fare difference if your new flight costs more. If you're planning to change your Aer Lingus flight, continue reading for step-by-step instructions.

Go to the Manage Trip Page

To change your flight, you'll need your booking reference number and family name. Enter this information in the required fields and click Manage Trip.

Use the App

If you have the Aer Lingus app downloaded on your mobile device, sign in to your account and tap Manage My Trip. You can also tap My Trips to view your scheduled flights.

Change Your Flight

If you see an option to change your flight, tap on it and follow the on-screen instructions. Don't see an option to change your flight? Your booking may involve another airline, or it may be a group booking.

Please note that group bookings and flights from another airline can't be changed on the website or app. You'll need to contact Aer Lingus directly if you wish to change this type of booking.

Note: You may still be able to change your flight even after check-in as long as you meet the criteria. If you change your flight after checking in, make sure to check in again for your new flight.

Book Your New Flight

If you meet all the criteria, you can change your Aer Lingus flight. Search for your new flight in the app or on the website, then follow the instructions to book online. As mentioned, fare differences and other fees may apply.

Call Aer Lingus

If you can't change your flight online or run into other issues, contact Aer Lingus directly. A representative may be able to assist you in changing your flight. Also, you can't change names online, so you'll still need to contact Aer Lingus directly for help. Keep in mind that you may still need to pay a name-change fee.

Customers who want to change their flights may still need to pay taxes and the change fee, depending on their fare type. Business, Advantage, or Flex flights may have discounted fees.

Conclusion

Were you able to change your flight? If you purchased an add-on, such as a baggage allowance, it will be transferred to the new flight. However, keep in mind that you may need to rebook seat selection and priority boarding separately. You may also be unable to change your flight directly with Aer Lingus if you booked somewhere else. If you purchased your flight tickets from a travel agency or another website, you may need to contact them directly to make changes to your booking. Still have questions about changing your flight?
