Is there a grace period for flights?

It's a customer service standard set by the Department of Transportation that says airlines must let travelers hold a reservation at the quoted fare for 24 hours without payment, or allow a purchased reservation to be canceled within 24 hours without penalty and with a full refund to the original form of payment.

How close to a flight can you reschedule?

Yes. You can change or cancel your flight up until 10 minutes before your scheduled departure time. For example, if you had a flight scheduled to depart at 8 a.m., you'd have until 7:50 a.m. to make changes or cancel the flight.

Does it cost extra to fly home early?

During normal airline operations, changing to an earlier flight will cost you, unless you're an elite level frequent flyer or purchased a full-fare ticket. Arguing that it's in the airline's best interest to allow you on an earlier flight because it opens a seat that could be sold to others just won't cut it.

Do they add more flights closer to date?

Specifically, plane tickets usually don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. Instead, flights tend to be the most inexpensive when you book between four months and three weeks before your departure date. According to the CheapAir.com 2019 Annual Airfare Study, you can expect rates to go up after that period.
