Can I change my easyJet flight 2 hours before?

You can edit your booking until two hours before your flight is due to depart – even if you've checked in. Once you've made your changes just check in again, and remember to reprint your boarding pass(es). Seats can't be changed if you've already checked in.



Yes, you can change your easyJet flight up to 2 hours before the scheduled departure, but the cost and flexibility vary significantly based on your ticket type. For a standard "Standard" fare, you will be required to pay a Flight Change Fee (per passenger, per flight) plus any difference in fare between your original flight and the new one. If the new flight is cheaper, you will not receive a refund of the difference. However, if you have an "Inclusive Plus" or a "Flexi" fare, or if you have purchased the "Flex Pass" add-on, you can often change the date or time of your flight without a change fee, though a fare difference may still apply if you move outside of a specific time window. In 2026, easyJet has made it easiest to handle these changes through their mobile app; once you are within that 2-hour window, the system "locks," and you are considered a "no-show" if you haven't boarded. If you miss that window but arrive at the airport within 2 hours after your flight took off, easyJet offers a "Rescue Fee" (around £110) to move you to the next available flight.
