newbie53 Posted September 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2022 What is the safest way to reprice my ezair flights? It's the exact same flight as already booked, just a little cheaper. I'm worried about accidentally losing my booked flights. Thanks for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted September 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I've done this multiple times. It's pretty simple. Just go through the process to book the new flights. EZair cancels your current flights simultaneously with sucessfully making the new reservation. If the there's a problem making the new reservation, your old reservation is still there. The only thing I've run into is during seat selection you can't select your old seats as your old reservation hasn't yet been canceled. However once you've made the new reservation you can go back in and now select your previous seats. There might be a possibility that in the small time window between making the new reservation and going back, someone may grab the old seats but I've never run into that. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted September 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Once I paid for seat selection on my EZ air. Air Canada flight- flexible was gone and a penalty fee would be charged. if I tried to make changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted September 18, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I've only used EZ Air once. For my price drop, I call 800-Princess. I don't trust my abilities. I did a live chat and the agent said he did it....but it never showed up on my account. The second agent was very helpful. You do have to rebook (before 45 days). You get a new booking number. Old reservation gets deleted. New pricing appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something to consider when rebooking for a price drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted September 18, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Air Canada charges for seat assignments ahead of time. Or you can wait for check in (24 hours) and get free left over seats. 16 minutes ago, dog said: Once I paid for seat selection on my EZ air.

Wishing on a star Posted September 18, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Can anybody give me a Dummy's 101 on using EZ-Air and then being able to use points to upgrade? Is that doable or recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that doable or recommended? Haven't done this personally but if I were to see if it's possible, I can think of a simple and risk-free way to find out. Make an EZ-Air booking outside of final payment so you don't have to put up any money. Then call your airline and see if you can upgrade it with points. If you don't like the result, cancel the booking! Then, come back here and let us know what you found out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted September 19, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I am thinking that the Flexible thing is key. Do they still offer both flexible and non-flexible? Would probably be Delta. I am thinking that you can lock in your seats and Booking number. then you have your actual reservation. Once you have your booking number and the seats, then you can simply go to Delta and upgrade with your points if that is available. If that is still how it works, with the Flexible option, then it would probably cost more to lock in your flight booking. So, using points to upgrade might, or might not, save much.

I saved about $230. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
