Airline ticket flexibility is incredibly valuable, and in recent years we’ve largely seen airlines adjust their policies to make them more flexible. Even so, one huge advantage of booking an airline award ticket rather than paying cash is the flexibility that you get.
Why? Generally you can redeposit the miles for an airline award ticket for a very small fee, or with many programs, for free. Even when revenue tickets have flexibility, typically that comes in the form of a credit you can use toward a future ticket, normally with an expiration date.
In this post, I’d like to compare airline award ticket change & redeposit policies, because this is an area where we’ve seen lots of improvement in recent years.
