3. Explanation of Key Fee Categories
Date / Time Change
When you request to change your departure or return date/time after ticketing, Travelgliders.us charges a service fee per passenger. This is in addition to the airline's own change fee (which can range from $0 to $500+ depending on the airline and fare type). Any fare difference between your original fare and the new fare will also be collected.
Name Corrections
Minor name corrections (up to 3 characters, such as fixing a typo) are processed as a minor correction. Major name changes (full first or last name change, adding/removing middle name) require airline approval and are more costly. Not all airlines permit name changes; in such cases, a new ticket may need to be purchased.
Cancellations and Refunds
Our cancellation service fee covers the administrative work of requesting a refund from the airline, tracking the refund status, and communicating updates to you. The refund itself is subject to the airline's fare rules and timeline (typically 7–30 business days).
Same-Day Void
If you contact us within 4 hours of ticket issuance and the airline permits a void (same-day cancellation before departure), we will process the void at no service charge. This window varies by airline.
4. Airline Change Fees (Separate from Travelgliders.us Fees)
The following are approximate airline-imposed change fees. These are charged by the airline in addition to Travelgliders.us service fees:

| Low-Cost Carriers (e.g., Spirit, Frontier) | $49 – $99 | N/A (domestic-only) |
| Ultra Low-Cost Carriers | $79 – $149 | N/A |
