Riyadh Air Flight Change Policy 2026

Last reviewed 8 October 2026 against Riyadh Air's fare bundles, Manage your order, cancel and refund and flight disruption help pages. Page updated 8 October 2026.

Reviewed by Jack Martin, Senior Specialist at AirFiesta. About AirFiesta

Riyadh Air sells Lite, Smart and Flex fare bundles in Economy and Premium Economy, and Smart, Flex and Elite in Business. Its help pages cover flight changes, a 24-hour cooling-off period, cancellations, no-shows and refunds, which it says are typically processed within 14 days. The detailed rules and fee amounts did not load for us, so this page does not quote any. Treat any site that lists exact Riyadh Air change fees with caution.

Riyadh Air fare bundles

Your fare bundle decides what you can change, so find it in your booking confirmation first. Riyadh Air's fare bundles page lists these names:

What Riyadh Air's help pages cover

Riyadh Air's help pages are built in JavaScript, and the section text did not load for us. We could confirm which topics exist:

• Manage your order: flight changes after order purchase, a cooling-off period, cancellations after the 24-hour cooling-off period, a no-show policy, refunds, upsell and downgrade conditions, and ancillary services.
• Cancel and refund: refunds before departure on a fully unused order, after departure on a partly used order, refunds after an upgrade, and how to request a refund. Refunds are typically processed within 14 days.
• Flight disruption policy: refunds, support and delay compensation up to 150 SDR.

Riyadh Air calls a booking an order, so you will see that word on its pages and in its app.

Riyadh Air change fees

We could not find a published Riyadh Air change fee. The text that would hold fees did not load, and we will not guess. Older guides list dollar ranges by fare, waived fees for higher fares and discounts for booking online. We could not match any of those to Riyadh Air's documents, so we have not repeated them. Before you agree to a change, check the amount Riyadh Air shows for your own booking.

Change fee vs. fare difference

A change can include two separate amounts. A change charge is whatever your fare bundle requires, and it can be zero. The fare difference is the gap between your original fare and the price of the new flight. If you move to a cheaper flight, do not assume the difference comes back to you, since many airlines do not refund it on voluntary changes. Ask before you confirm.

How to change your Riyadh Air flight

Change your Riyadh Air flight yourself

1. Go to riyadhair.com or open the Riyadh Air app and find your order.
2. Check your fare bundle and the change options shown for your order.
3. Choose the new flight, then review any charge and fare difference before you pay.
4. Confirm, then save the new itinerary and check your seats and bags again.

If you booked with AirFiesta

1. Use the contact options at the bottom of the page, or email support@airfiesta.com with your AirFiesta booking reference.
2. We check your fare rules and send you the options, with Riyadh Air's charges, any fare difference and our US$10 per passenger service fee listed separately.
3. Once you approve, we make the change with Riyadh Air and email the new itinerary.

Riyadh Air 24-hour cooling-off period

Riyadh Air's Manage your order page has a "Cooling off period" section and a later section titled "Cancellations after the 24 hour cooling off period". That tells us a 24-hour window exists, and that cancellations after it follow different rules. We could not read the conditions, for example whether the flight must be a minimum number of days away or whether every channel qualifies. Do not rely on a free 24-hour cancellation until you have confirmed it for your booking on riyadhair.com.

Cancel a Riyadh Air flight and refunds

Riyadh Air's cancel and refund page separates three situations: a fully unused order before departure, a partly used order after departure, and a refund after an upgrade. Its summary says refunds are typically processed within 14 days. Which fares are refundable, and what is deducted, are in the text we could not read. If you booked through an agency, the cancellation and any refund go through the agency.

Riyadh Air no-show policy

Riyadh Air's Manage your order page includes a "No-show policy" section, but its wording did not load for us. Across airlines, a missed flight often cancels the rest of the trip, so act before departure.

1. If the flight has not left, change or cancel it before departure.
2. If it has left, contact Riyadh Air or the agency that issued your ticket straight away.
3. Ask about the whole itinerary before you buy a new ticket.
4. If you booked with AirFiesta, call or message us before departure.

Riyadh Air name correction

We could not find a name-correction procedure or fee on the pages we could read, so we will not quote one. Check every name against the passport before you pay. If there is a spelling error, contact Riyadh Air or the issuing agency as soon as you notice, before you travel. If the traveller changes, plan on a new booking unless Riyadh Air confirms otherwise.

If Riyadh Air changes or cancels your flight

Riyadh Air's flight disruption policy page describes refunds, support and delay compensation up to 150 SDR. We could not read when compensation applies, what counts as a significant delay or how to claim. The help page also points to a passenger rights claim process with a reference number. Use Riyadh Air's own page for your flight and keep every notice you receive.

Changing Riyadh Air tickets booked elsewhere

Booked through a travel agent or another site

The agency that issued your ticket controls the booking, and Riyadh Air's fare rules apply on top of any fee the agency charges. Ask the agency how it handles changes.

Booked directly with Riyadh Air

Use Riyadh Air's Manage your order page, the app, or the contact options on its website.

Booked with AirFiesta

Beware of fake Riyadh Air phone numbers

Search results for Riyadh Air help are full of third-party pages listing numbers that may not be official. We do not print a Riyadh Air number here. Use the contact options on riyadhair.com or the agency that sold you the ticket, and never share card details with a number you found in a search result.
