Flexpass tickets

When a Flexpass is configured to be "redeemed in advance, " customers can enter the sales flow to reserve a seat before their trip and "pay" using their flex pass. Tickets that were generated from a flexpass redemption can be changed or cancelled to free seats. However, the system will not grant any credit for the change operation to prevent fraud.

This means that trying to change a ticket that was "paid" with a flexpass will require the customer to pay for the full amount of the ticket (defined for the related reservations product) plus any applicable fees.

If you have configured a fare requiring a companion (a Child for example), it will obligate you to change it with the companion (an Adult for example). It can’t be changed by just one of them.
