Am I reading this correctly or are they being unclear - has the "no earlier than 4 hours" rule been eliminated? That would be a major benefits enhancement, if we can call any time on the day of travel (12:01 AM?)
Pushback - it sounds like there is some confusion on this on the part of the Res. agents. I was worried when I read "Change Fees: For changes made
other than the same day of departure, we will continue to waive the change fee for Summit Members. However, an applicable fare difference applies." However looking at the other release, it looks like they have dropped
ALL change fees day-of-departure, and now just require a fare difference. It's key to note that this
could result in free changes, depending on the cost of the original ticket. I think we need to wait a couple days and see what shakes out, but it sounds more like confusion, not a reduction in benefits.
