What if my plans change?
LIFT lets you change your flight penalty-free up to 24 hours before departure on Economy, or up to 1 hour before on Premium (fare differences may apply).
After changing your flight, your existing Payflex plan should continue as normal. Any fare difference is likely to be paid separately.
If the new fare is cheaper, how the difference is returned depends on LIFT’s fare rules and our terms and conditions.
We also offer Pre-Travel Protection if something unexpected means you can’t travel at all. This doesn't cover changes, but protects you if you have to cancel because of an emergency.
Economy or premium?
With Payflex, you can spread the cost of your flight, regardless of whether you fly premium or economy. This includes any add-ons you may need, too.
