China Eastern Airlines Flight Change Policy

China Eastern Airlines' flight change policies vary based on fare type, route, and ticket conditions. Generally, passengers are allowed to make changes to their bookings, but fees and restrictions apply depending on the specific fare rules.

Changes are permitted with a fee that varies according to the fare rules and route. Some promotional fares may have higher fees or stricter conditions.

Business Class:

Offers greater flexibility with lower or no change fees, depending on fare conditions.

First Class:

Typically allows the most flexibility with minimal or no change fees, subject to fare rules.

Basic Economy Fares:

Introduced in July 2019, these fares do not allow refunds, changes, upgrades, advance seat assignments, online check-in, or checked baggage. Passengers on these fares board last.

General Guidelines:

Change Requests: For tickets booked through third-party platforms, passengers should contact the respective agency or platform to request changes.

Ticket Validity: Passengers with open tickets are exempt from change fees when confirming their seats for the first time within the prescribed validity period; they only need to pay the difference between the new flight and the original open ticket when the seat is confirmed. Any subsequent voluntary changes following the initial confirmation shall be processed in accordance with the airline's rules.
