Changing Your eDreams Flight in 2025? Here’s What Actually Works

A Real-World Traveler’s Breakdown: Rebooking Fees, Steps & Support Tips

Changing your flight shouldn’t feel like assembling IKEA furniture without a manual — but if you booked through eDreams, it might. We’ve helped hundreds of travelers sort out last-minute trip changes, and here’s the truth: it’s doable. You just need to know how the system works before you panic.

So, if your travel plans just did a 180 (been there), here’s your no-fluff, step-by-step guide to changing a flight booked on eDreams in 2025.

🧭 Can You Actually Change a Flight on eDreams?

Yes, but… it depends. eDreams is an online travel agency (OTA). That means they don’t make the flight rules — the airline does. eDreams is more like a middleman who forwards your request.

So whether or not you can change your flight depends on:

The airline’s policy
The fare type you booked (Basic Economy usually = no changes)
How close you are to the departure time

Pro Tip from Jupiter: Always check the airline’s rules too. Even if eDreams says “changeable,” the airline might say nope.

🛠️ How to Change Your eDreams Flight (2025 Step-by-Step)

Follow this process to request a flight change:

Log in to your eDreams account
Go to “My Trips” or “Manage Booking”
Select the flight you want to change
Click “Change Flight” (only visible if the airline allows it)
Choose your new date/time, then proceed
Pay any fare difference or change fee
Confirm and wait for your updated itinerary

Heads up: You might not get instant confirmation — some airlines require manual approval. Expect 12–72 hours.

💸 eDreams Flight Change Fees (Explained)

Changing a flight comes with 2–3 possible charges:

Fee Type	Who Charges It	Approximate Cost
eDreams Service Fee	eDreams	$20–$50 USD
Airline Change Fee	Airline	$0–$300 USD (depends on airline & route)
Fare Difference	Airline	Varies (can be $0 or $$$)

Some low-cost carriers like Ryanair or Wizz Air charge per segment change.

⚡ What If There’s No “Change” Button?

Here’s what that usually means:

You booked a non-changeable fare
The flight is too close to departure
There’s a technical error (common with OTAs)

What to do:

Contact eDreams support (see below)
Or try the airline directly (especially if it’s within 24 hours of takeoff)

🔒 If You Bought eDreams Prime or “Cancel for Any Reason”

✅ eDreams Prime:

Prime members get discounts on change fees
May offer more flexible booking terms
Still depends on airline rules

✅ Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR):

Lets you cancel first, then rebook a new flight
Usually easier than directly changing

Check your booking confirmation — if you paid extra for these, use them.

⏳ How Long Does It Take for the Flight Change to Process?

Instantly, if airline supports automated changes
12–72 hours, if airline approval is needed
You’ll get an updated e-ticket via email (or app notification)

If it’s been more than 72 hours — it’s time to call or email support.

❓ eDreams Flight Change FAQs

Can I change my flight on eDreams for free?

Only if the airline allows free changes and there’s no fare difference. Most Basic Economy fares don’t qualify.

How much does it cost to change a flight through eDreams?

Expect $20–$50 from eDreams, plus the airline’s own fee (which ranges from $0 to $300+).

Is it better to contact the airline directly?

If you’re very close to your departure time or you’re flying with a major carrier, yes. But if you used eDreams Prime or CFAR, stick with eDreams first.

✈️ Final Verdict from the Jupiter Team

Changing a flight through eDreams can feel like solving a riddle written by a tired robot — but it’s doable. Just know your airline’s rules, expect some fees, and act fast if your travel plans are shifting.

And hey — if you haven’t booked yet and flexibility is important? Maybe consider going direct next time.
