how many times can we change a non refundable ticket ?

With the new booking condition, any idea how many times we can change a non refundable / changeable domestic "light" ticket for free ?
I'm not sure of my new date yet and may need ot change it more than once

Thank you very much

if you are not sure and your booking is concerned by coronavirus , then i would suggest to take the voucher option , unless you are flexible

Thank you.
if I take the voucher and rebook immediately, can I change my new flights ?

changing my current flights for July will cost nothing but if I need to buy a new ticket it’ll be much more expensive that my actual ticket

If you want to modify your flights you need to check the terms and conditions of the new ticket you will book

You need a cristal ball to guess how situation will be in july to be honest , so it is up to you to take the gamble

Got an email that my flight is cancelled and I rebooked for July.
Hopefully the new non changeable ticket will still be changeable as per the exception to the rule.

Changed already ticket from June to go home earlier for my friend, then changed the date and then let her in Canada until the end of May, so 3 changes total, but the line knew I was Platinum and told me they'd do it because they don't know if it is allowed or not anyway so.

There’s no limit and the original fare conditions apply in the case of tickets that have refund fees. For example, I’ve twice changed my ticket at no cost. If I cancel and don’t take a voucher, I’d have to pay the original cancellation fee of $500.

Then why would you even ask such a question?

Because I'm not sure that I'll take the July trip.

All the more reason not to "cash out" now and pay extra for flights you don't even know you want....all the more when you say you can change what you have to July for no charge

no need to take the voucher, just change your flights. There’re no fees for changing into the same travel cabin and no limit to number of changes. The website shows fare changes when modifying the flight but on the final page the fare changes are not charged. If you can’t travel before Nov, then take the voucher. However, even this date may eventually be extended.

Most tickets expire in 12-13 months, so rebooking later with the same ticket number only works up to a point.
