Hello guys. I have a question about flight schedule change. Left Nigeria a few months ago and my ticket was booked by a travel agency. along the line, i wish to change my return date to an earlier period than planned. I called the travel agent to check the cost and i was told but it is way too high for an itinerary change i think. is it possible to go to a travel agency in the country i currently am if they can change it if the cost will be cheaper. I know i cannot ask the airline for this since i did not purchase the airline ticket directly from them initially. So, my question is can another agency in the other country help me get it done?

No you can't use another agency.
You can try with the airline and see

I did try; it did not work. Just trying to explore any available option; it's quite expensive and there is a better rate here

Sorry, but not much you can do Abt it.
Have you considered asking for another date if that would reduce the price.
Usually the cost is change fee plus any difference in price for the date you pick.
So ask the agent if another date gives a cheaper rate ( price difference for the new date)

Thank you very much. i will try this

This is easy, all you have to do is go to the website of the airline e and chose a new ate to amend your ticket, the price you see is what is obtainable, there is nothing magic about it, however this is why its always good to book flexible ticket which has a fixed change of date price. Some airlines in total will not allow you to change you just buy a whole new ticket.
