"Flex fare" options for flight needs that may change last minute?

Upvote:2

I'm on a business trip and the guys I work for ordered my ticket. In the documents I got the flight is marked as flexible. Digging a bit deeper: for a fee (about $80) I can change the date provided I do so more than 24h before the planned departure time.

The way this was arranged is by simply booking directly with a big airline, certainly not one of the budget airlines. The budget airlines make money from people not flying the trips they paid for. They are cheap if you don't need to change. So... My advice would be to call a big airline and simply ask them what their conditions are. (the oldfashioned way, you know, by using a telephone! :-) )
