Here are detailed and up-to-date guidelines to help you make changes correctly:
Basic rules for changing Air Arabia tickets
Air Arabia allows changes to the travel date, route, and departure time, but with certain restrictions:
Changes must be made at least 24 hours before departure for domestic flights and 48 hours before departure for international flights.
Passenger name changes are generally not allowed, except for correcting minor typos.
Refunds are not available when changing a ticket — you must pay the change fee plus any fare difference.
Cost of changes
The exact fee depends on the route and destination, but on average:
Approximately $50–80 per change,
plus any difference in fare between the original and the new ticket.
These conditions are listed in the Fare Rules section on the official Air Arabia website and apply to most fares, except promotional tickets, where changes may be restricted or not allowed.
How to make changes
Online via the Manage Booking section on the Air Arabia website — the fastest and most reliable option.
By calling customer support at +971 6 5580000.
At Air Arabia sales offices or through the travel agency where the ticket was purchased.
Money-saving tip
If you expect your travel plans may change, choose a ticket with the Flexi option when booking. It allows up to two changes without a change fee (you only pay any fare difference).
If the airline refuses changes or charges unreasonable fees
Share your experience on Xolvie. This can help you defend your rights and warn other travelers.
