How can I change the date or time of a flight with Swiss?

SWISS identifies eligible tickets by its 724 ticket prefix and supports qualifying point-to-point one-way or return bookings. Partner, award, group, multiple-ticket and special-service cases may need assistance instead. The online flow changes flight dates; it does not change the passenger name or the origin and destination. It also applies the change to the travelers covered by the booking. If only one person needs a different plan, clarify the servicing route before confirming anything for the whole party. Review the complete repriced itinerary. SWISS says all still-open flight segments are recalculated, including segments you did not select for a date change. That makes the full exchange total more useful than the price of one replacement leg. Once completed, the booking reference can stay the same while the ticket number changes. Keep the new ticket and check every remaining flight rather than relying only on the unchanged booking reference.
