South African Airways Flight Change Policy

South African Airways (SAA) allows passengers to modify their flight bookings, with policies and fees varying based on fare type, route, and timing of the change.

General Change Policies:

Change Fees: For certain routes, such as Johannesburg to Perth, changes are permitted at a charge of ZAR 1,700 per change, exclusive of VAT.

Fare Differences: If the same booking class is not available or if the total fare has changed due to seasonality, an additional charge may apply.

How to Change Your Booking:

Online: Utilize the "Manage My Booking" feature on SAA's website to view, change, or cancel a booking, update contact details, select seats, add baggage, bid for an upgrade, request a tax invoice, or add a frequent flyer number.

Customer Service: If online changes aren't possible, contact SAA's customer service for assistance.

Important Considerations:

Advance Notice: Changes should be made well before the scheduled departure to avoid penalties.

Fare Differences: When rebooking, any increase in fare will be charged accordingly.

Policy Variations: Policies may differ based on the country of booking and specific fare rules.

Documentation: Have your booking reference number and identification ready when requesting changes.
