I've booked one trip already, but there may be a few other times I want to go. One of them isn't available anymore, and the other is in June of next year, which we're not yet able to book....

Just picked up a ticket for MLK weekend, 2007. Ticket was purchased on Orbitz at 1:55pm EST.
1/13/07: YYZ-MXP (AZ, C class, 762)
1/14/07: MXP-LCA (CY, Y-class 320)
1/15/07: LCA-FCO (CY, C-class 320)
1/15/07: FCO-JFK (AZ, C-class, 772)
1/16/07: JFK-YYZ (AA, Y-class, ER3)
Total cost: $182.60 airfare + $9.99 service fee + $21.95 paper ticket = $214.54
Talk about a great start to 2007!

If a stopover or reroute is requested/added after original ticketing, then that's another matter and is far more likely to result in a repricing/add-collect. This is where it could turn financially ugly. A simple date change needs not be ugly financially if the same "D" inventory is available on the desired travel date.
