JFK T2 SC Agent said Yes
DM line agent said Typically you cannot but as a DM we waive the fee and do the change
GA in BOS said NO
Red Coat in BOS said NO
I figured it wouldn't be possible, and when I wanted to do it I couldn't because it was < 1 hour and the GA / Red Coat wouldn't do it ... but the DM line would have for me had I tried earlier.
As far as other SDCs to Co-Terminals this is indeed a benefit to DMs. When talking with an agent tell them to refer to KM in the SDC section if they can't figure it out (per zsmith2).

I wish I had remembered zsmith2's notation about it...I got denied by an agent yesterday when trying to switch from BWI to DCA...when I pressed her, she went back and double-checked and of course, changed the flights no problem. Why dont the agents read the latest updates to be aware of these changes?

They need a generic "ORL" that would cover MCO, DAB, and MLB

I wouldn't trust it. I had a call last week and they're researching it ... probably going to result in rewording of KM ... hopefully will have an update today/tomorrow.

I will just stay at PM for 2011 and not go for DM, if there is no real differentiation then, as free award changes are back for PM and this SDC would help me in WAS as well even as a PM. I can get to SC with DReserve and my Amex Plat. I can live without the GM gift or the 6 SWUs that I never use. So why go for DM again? Time to focus on CO?
