Understanding Sun Country Airlines Flight Change Rules

 Travel plans can shift unexpectedly, and having clarity on an airline’s flight change rules can save both time and money. Sun Country Airlines offers passengers flexibility when rescheduling flights, but the costs and options vary depending on timing and circumstances. Here’s an easy-to-follow breakdown of the airline’s flight change rules.




Key Flight Change Rules

  1. 60+ Days Before Departure

    • No change fees apply.

    • Passengers only pay the fare difference if the new flight costs more.

  2. 59–14 Days Before Departure

    • A change fee of about $36–$50 per segment applies.

    • Fare differences must also be covered.

  3. 13–0 Days Before Departure

    • Higher change fees apply, typically $79–$100 per segment.

    • Fare differences also apply.

  4. Within 24 Hours of Booking

    • Passengers can cancel or change for free if the booking was made at least 7 days before departure (U.S. DOT rule).


Change Fee Waiver

Sun Country offers an optional Change Fee Waiver at the time of booking. This allows passengers to make one free change up to 1 hour before departure. Fare differences still apply, but this waiver helps travelers avoid high last-minute fees.


Fare Differences & Credits

  • If the new fare is higher, passengers pay the difference.

  • If the new fare is lower, Sun Country issues the balance as a future travel credit valid for up to 12 months.


Airline-Initiated Changes

If Sun Country Airlines cancels or significantly alters your flight schedule, passengers can usually:

  • Reschedule without fees or fare differences, or

  • Request a full refund to the original payment method.


Special Circumstances

In cases of illness, medical emergencies, or bereavement, passengers may request fee waivers by providing documentation. Sun Country reviews these on a case-by-case basis.


How to Change a Flight

  • Online: Manage bookings via Sun Country’s website.

  • Phone: Call customer support or Flights Counsel for expert assistance.

  • Third-Party Bookings: Contact the travel agency or platform used to book the ticket.


Final Thoughts

Sun Country Airlines’ flight change rules are structured but flexible. By planning early, considering the Change Fee Waiver, and keeping track of credits, passengers can avoid high costs and travel with peace of mind.
