Can I/How/Rules to change flight date on LOT?
Hey guys,just found out about this website and im probably going to use it alot.
Well,I wanna order tickets from LOT and I have a few questions.
1.Can I change(POSTPONE) a RETURN ticket's date?For example if If my return flight from USA to my country is at 12/DEC/2017, and I wanna postpone it to 10/JAN/2018,Is it possible?
If so -
2.What are the fees?
3.How to do it?
***** Its an economy ticket.

Welcome!
Nobody can answer your question as information about the fare class is required. As a rule of a thumb: the cheaper the ticket, the less flexibility.

If you buy your tickets on lot.com hovering over the radio button on the "Select Your flights" page actually shows the booking class and the fare basis (e.g VLXTAN, MLXRED, RLXSPC14, APMLO, etc). You or someone else will have to look up what the fare basis means but it will be a start.

Sometimes there a small fine print link to click and check the fare rules.
If not then you should find another vendor or give the travel agency a call to find out.
If you manage to catch them on a good day, LOT.com also displays the fare rules.
Keep in mind, all this information will only provide the minimum amount you have to pay for a change. The actual amount can very well be quite higher.

Guys im not looking to buy directly from LOT it could cost up to %50 more.
Quick edit- Just checked LOT's site and the prices are actually not that higher,maybe %15 more which is worth it. So thank you guys. And I figured everything I needed so thanks alot!
1 more thing guys, Would you recommend to fly with LOT? I mean,they have the cheapest tickets along with Iberia, I dont care about food and all the stuff around,not even about comfort too much, just the SAFETY and the seriousness of the staff that takes care of the plane and it's maintenance. basically, safety is the only thing important to me.
So should I go with LOT or Iberia? Is LOT known as a bad airline regarding safety or not? I know some airlines try to save expenses and maintain air planes badly which could lead to serious safety issues.
And then theres the security matter, do they treat security as needed?

The fees for changes though are just the beginning, fare difference may result in a significantly higher total sum - and you never know what that it's going to look like, especially wit the modern fare construction logic.

There should be a link to full fare conditions right around the price calculation.

Provided they don't stop selling tickets in cheaper fare classes nearer the departure date as some airlines do. Good luck!

Sorry I dont understand what you meant by "Stop selling tickets in cheaper fare classes nearer the departure date", Im looking to postpone my flight forabout 2 months,and to do it about 27 days BEFORE the original date, so wont they *probably* have these tickets ~27 days before the original date?
