Are Flexible Flights Really Worth Booking?

I’ve been seeing more airlines offering flexible flight tickets lately, and I wanted to understand if they’re actually worth it. From what I’ve learned, flexible flights allow you to change travel dates or cancel bookings with lower or no penalties, which can be helpful when plans aren’t fixed.

They do seem to cost a bit more upfront, but they can save money if travel dates change due to work, visas, or emergencies. This looks especially useful for international or long-haul travel where cancellation fees are high.

Has anyone here booked flexible flights recently? Did it actually help, or do you still prefer regular tickets? Would love to hear real experiences.
 
  • Your plan is fixed: If you are certain about your travel date, spending an extra ₹500–₹1,500 is not worth it.
  • Short-distance flights: For domestic or short flights, sometimes buying a new ticket is cheaper than the price difference of a flexible fare.
