Fare Information
Check airfare prices rules before you book
See published fares, fare basis codes, change and cancellation terms, routing restrictions, and booking class comparisons for any city pair and airline.
Start 5-Day Free TrialExpertFlyer gives you in-depth access to published airfares for any city pair and airline, including the fare amount, fare basis code, and all associated rules and restrictions. Two fares at similar prices can have very different terms. Fare Information lets you check refundability, change fees, routing options, and booking class differences before you commit to a ticket.
What you can do with Fare Information
Review routing options for a specific fare
Routing rules show which connection cities and partner airlines are permitted under a fare, which can open up more convenient or lower-cost paths.
Compare booking classes across two airlines
Side-by-side booking class comparison shows differences in baggage allowances, mileage earning, refund terms, and upgrade eligibility that price alone does not reveal.
Search fares in any currency
View all published fares between two cities in the currency of your choice, across one-way, round-trip, and around-the-world fare types.

How frequent flyers use Fare Information
You found two similarly priced fares and want to know which is actually better
Check Fare Rules for both fares to compare refundability, change fees, and advance purchase requirements. What looks like a small price difference often hides significantly better or worse flexibility.
You want to know if a creative routing is permitted under your fare
Check Routing Rules for your fare to see which connection cities and partner airlines are allowed. Some lower-cost fares permit stopovers or connections that can make a routing more useful without a higher base price.
You are choosing between two airlines and want to know which booking class gives you more
Use Booking Class Comparison to see differences in baggage allowances, mileage earning rates, and upgrade eligibility side by side. The cheaper fare class may earn significantly fewer miles or carry stricter change terms.
