# Flight to Port Moresby Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
sneaker_fish 01:08 UTC 06 May 2008 | Hi I have booked flights through websites such as expedia, travelocity etc but have never needed to change the flight after purchase. I have found a flight from NZ to Port Moresby on expedia.co.nz (travelling Air NZ to BNE and then Air Nuigini to POM) but there is a chance that i could need to change the ticket for the person flying. Obviously there are charges involved with this but how do i change it after purchase? Is it through the airline like I would if i was booking a flight direct, or would I change it through expedia? If it makes any difference, i wasn't actually able to book the flight through Air NZ so that is not an option. They have the flight but are unable to book the Air Nuigini sector (no i don't know why). Hence why i was looking around on Expedia. Qantas' flights were a lot more expensive as well. If it is likely to be a difficult process to change the ticket i will probably just go through a travel agent! But if anyone can advise me it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. |
sneaker_fish 01:11 UTC 06 May 2008 | Oh. I hate it when this happens. I found pretty much what i was looking for. I will post it here for anyone who wants to read it: Can I make changes or cancel my flight booking? Whether a flight ticket can be changed, depends on the airline and the fare that you have booked. Many of the fares that you can book on Expedia.co.nz are specially negotiated fares, offering you a discount compared to standard published fares - however often cannot be changed or refunded. Please read the "Airline Rules & Regulations" section carefully before you purchase your flight; once you have purchased your flight, you can always find the "Airline Rules & Regulations" again on your itinerary; you can do so by going to the "My Itineraries" tab on Expedia.co.nz or by checking the bottom section of your Expedia.co.nz "E-mail Itinerary Confirmation". If the airfare you have booked does allow changes and/or cancellation, or if you are unsure about this, please contact our customer care centre at 0800 99 87 99. The customer care centre is open Monday – Friday from 9 am to 10 pm, weekend and public holidays from 10 am to 5 pm. Please have your itinerary number and booking details available. Still doesn't help as to whether they will have a good cheapish alternative available, but it does appear to answer my question. Sorry! | 1
