Airlines love charging fees, but the worst is when you should probably change or cancel your reservation.
Its not all bad news, though: some airlines have better policies than others.
Lets break down which are the best and which are the worst.

Next to Southwest isAlaska, which has an okay, but not as awesome as Southwest plan.
If you change your itinerary over 60 days in advance of your flight, its free.
However, once you pass the 60 day threshold, itll cost you $125.
Spirit,JetBlue, andAllegiantall have similar policies and the same downfalls.
