Practise asking to change a journey.

The idea

Use Could I change…? to request a different booking and ask whether a fee applies.

Examples

  • I need to change the date of my train booking.
  • Is there a fee for moving the flight to Tuesday?
  • Are any seats available on the earlier service?
  • Would the new ticket cost more than my original one?
  • Could you tell me what other departures are available?
  • Please confirm the new time before I pay.

Watch out

Do not assume a change fee is the whole cost: a fare difference may also apply. Ask for the total.
