How to Change Air Arabia Flight Date 2026

What to know before a date change

1. Not every ticket can be date-changed

Air Arabia sells several fare types, each with its own flexibility:

How to check your fare type

• Look at the fare conditions on the original e-ticket or confirmation email
• Air Arabia Manage Booking — log in and review the booking
• WhatsApp goFLY 01713-289178 — we will check it for you

2. The less notice, the higher the fee

3. What to have ready

• Booking reference (PNR), the 6-character code on your e-ticket
• Passenger last name, exactly as it appears on the booking
• Preferred new date(s), with 1–2 backup dates (flexibility saves money)
• Payment method, for the fee and any fare difference

Date change fees — set out plainly

The two parts of the fee

An Air Arabia date change usually means paying two separate amounts:

Worked Example

What if the new flight is cheaper?

• The change fee still applies
• A fare difference refund is usually not, though you pay no extra fare difference either
• This is standard practice for a low-cost carrier

What drives the total cost

How to keep the fee down

• Change it early — leaving it late raises both the fee and the fare difference
• Stay flexible — checking ±2 days around your preferred date can save thousands of taka
• Pick midweek — Tuesday and Wednesday flights are consistently cheaper
• Avoid peak periods — fares run 30–50% higher at Eid and in December

Special Situations

1. Changing the date on a return ticket bought abroad

Our most common request. If you:

• work in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or another Gulf country
• bought a round trip to Bangladesh from there
• are now in Bangladesh and want to change the return date

… come straight to goFLY. We handle cases like this every week.

WhatsApp: 01713-289178 — give us the PNR and we do the rest.

2. A date change for several passengers

• All or only some passengers on the same booking can be changed
• Each passenger pays their own change fee
• The fare difference is also calculated per passenger

3. Multi-city or complex bookings

On an itinerary with several stops or connections, changing one segment can affect the others. Rather than trying it online, contact us and we will handle it correctly.

4. Name correction (not a name change)

• Air Arabia generally name transfer does not allow a transfer to another person's name
• A minor spelling correction may be possible within 24–48 hours of booking
• For a serious error in the name, contact Air Arabia immediately

5. When the airline changes the schedule

• If Air Arabia reschedules a flight for operational reasons, a notification arrives by email or SMS
• Where the change is significant, free rebooking may be available
• For a major change, a refund option may be available

6. What cannot be changed

Date change or cancellation — which is better?

Sometimes cancelling and buying a new ticket costs less than a date change.

When a date change is better

• The new flight costs close to the original
• Your fare type carries a low change fee
• You are changing 7+ days ahead
• The original ticket was expensive, so cancelling would lose more

When cancel and rebook may be better

• The new flight is much cheaper than the original
• The change fee is large against the value of the ticket
• Your fare is non-changeable (a promo fare)
• The ticket is refundable and the refund more than covers the cancellation fee

Example Comparison

Scenario: the original ticket cost ৳20,000 and the flight on the new date is ৳17,000.

Here, a date change is clearly better.

Payment options — for the date change fee
