I just applied for a voucher refund on my SEA-CDG ($74.15 difference per person).

Called to reconfirm that the upgrades still are intact. I'm still a bit worried about this so I'd like to know if there may be any trip-ups later.

Good thing that the new fare class is H which should as 1) it'll earn us the 5K trans-Atlantic bonus, and 2) no confusion about upgrades at CDG.

You should have no trouble. When you get a voucher because of a fare change, all else remains the same (as long as the new fare is not V or W.

The worrying thing about the change is that you're transferred to an agent if you call for the automated reconfirmation. There might be a instantaneous downgrade and then upgrade. Both times, I've called to reconfirm with an agent.

I called for a 2nd set of vouchers this morning. The fare had dropped from $674 to $600 and then again last night to $584 (the $90 each will contribute nicely to our FL run later in the year).

Original fare was in V, the last newer 2 in H.
