How to Modify Booking Dates and Understand the Implications
Booking a trip often requires flexibility, and we understand plans can change. Below, we outline the key aspects of modifying your booking dates on AFerry, including the process, fare considerations, and post-change confirmation details.
How to Request a Date Change
To change your travel dates, submit a date change request through AFerry support.
Please note that some bookings are updated manually, and changes may not immediately reflect in your account. Regardless, your booking will be updated, and a confirmation email with your revised reservation details will be sent. Ensure you present this updated itinerary during port check-in.
What Happens After Changing Travel Dates
Once the changes are processed, you will receive an email containing the new ticket details, ensuring you have all the necessary information about your trip. Should you need further clarification, you can reply to the email to seek additional assistance.
Considerations for Ticket Types and Fares
Some ticket types, such as 5-day special return tickets, have strict limitations. For instance, rebooking for a date later than the original return date is typically not allowed. In such cases, you may have to cancel your current booking (subject to the operator's policy of refunding unused tickets) and purchase a new ticket for the desired dates. Keep in mind, the new booking may not retain the discounted rate of the original fare.
Important Fare Restrictions
Specific terms, such as a 120-hour return limit, may still apply even after you amend your travel dates. For example, if your original ticket required a return within five days, the same condition will govern your revised travel dates. Confirm the conditions mentioned in your updated booking to stay informed. Always remember, such limits are calculated as full days and not precise hourly intervals.
Key Takeaways
Verify your ticket type and fare conditions before requesting a date change.
Submit modifications early to ensure sufficient processing time.
Carefully review the confirmation email of your updated reservation to check the fare terms and travel details.
