Post Ticketing Fees
At Galaxy Trips, we understand that plans can change, and sometimes adjustments to your booking are necessary after your ticket has been issued. To ensure flexibility and transparency, we outline below the potential post-ticketing fees that may apply if you need to make changes to your booking.
1. Name Change Fees
If there is a minor error in the name on your ticket (e.g., a typo or misspelling), a name correction fee may apply to amend it. This fee is subject to the airline’s policies and the type of fare you have booked.
- Charges: Name changes or corrections usually come with a fee depending on the airline’s policy and fare rules.
- Important: Name changes are typically not allowed for certain low-cost or promotional fares.
2. Date or Schedule Change Fees
If you need to alter the travel dates or times after your ticket has been issued, change fees may apply. The exact charges depend on the airline, fare class, and route.
- Charges: Airline-imposed change fees typically range from £50 to £200 per ticket, plus any fare difference for the new travel dates.
- Important: Some airlines may allow free changes on certain flexible tickets or during specific promotional periods.
3. Reissue Fees
If you need to make significant changes to your ticket (e.g., changing the departure city or destination), a reissue fee may be charged. This fee applies when a new ticket must be issued to reflect the changes.
- Charges: Reissue fees vary depending on the airline and the nature of the changes. The fee is generally between £50 to £150 per ticket, plus any applicable fare differences.
- Important: For international flights or complex changes, reissue fees may be higher.
4. Cancellation or Refund Processing Fees
If you need to cancel your flight or request a refund, cancellation fees may apply. Refund requests are subject to airline policies, and some tickets may be non-refundable.
- Charges: Cancellation or refund processing fees typically range from £25 to £100 per person.
- Important: Non-refundable fares may not be eligible for a refund, but may allow changes for a fee. In some cases, you may be entitled to a partial refund depending on the airline’s terms and conditions.
5. Excess Baggage Fees
If your checked baggage exceeds the airline’s weight or size allowance, excess baggage fees may apply. These fees vary by airline and route.
- Charges: Typically range from £10 to £50 per extra kilogram, with larger fees for oversized luggage.
- Important: Pre-purchasing extra baggage allowance at the time of booking often results in lower fees than paying for excess baggage at the airport.
6. Special Requests Fees
If you request special services after booking, such as additional seat requests (e.g., extra legroom, window seat) or in-flight services, a fee may apply.
- Charges: Fees for special requests such as seat upgrades, meal preferences, or assistance at the airport range from £5 to £100 per service, depending on the request and airline.
- Important: Special requests may not be guaranteed, as they depend on availability.
Important Notes
- Policy Differences: Post-ticketing fees vary depending on the airline, fare type, and booking conditions. Always check the airline’s terms and conditions to understand specific fee structures.
- Booking Changes: For any post-ticketing requests, you must contact Galaxy Trips or the airline directly. We are happy to assist with managing your booking and minimizing any additional fees where possible.
- Non-refundable Fees: Some fees may be non-refundable, even if you cancel or change your booking.
