Missing a flight is stressful, but acting quickly gives you the best chance of a workable outcome. The first thing to do is contact the airline or us as soon as you realise, because options shrink fast once a flight has departed.
What happens next depends on the fare and the airline. Some tickets allow you to be moved to a later flight for a fee, while others treat a missed flight as forfeited. The conditions attached to your ticket, shown in your booking, tell you which situation you are in.
To avoid missing a flight, allow generous time for check in, security and any connections, and account for local traffic and queues that are easy to underestimate. If you do miss one, stay calm and reach out immediately rather than waiting, since the sooner you ask, the more the airline can usually do.
