But when I spoke with res, they said it would be $150. I noted that EWR/LGA were co-terminals, but they said, "but this is different." Uh.

Does anyone know if I can change from EWR to LGA without a change fee?

Thanks much...

Interesting link at the end of the sig, don't know if that type of thing is against the rules though.
I like the OpenSkies article about them dropping the standard econ product.

If it says they are the same in the fare rule for the award "fare", then I would expect a better explanation than "but this is different"
