I mostly know of all the issues pertaining to changes, change fee's etc etc.
When you go online and punch in your search criteria example leaving Sept 1 09 and returning Sept 21 09, if I haven't met all the fare rules of 50 day advance purchase, sat night stay, 30 day max etc etc, then why on this planet would DL even spit out an I fare? If they do and I book it what possible issue can I get myself into? They can't go back and reprice the ticket later or change it because THEIR system let me book a fare that is outside of THEIR fare rules. Who has EVER had this problem?
That's not wat everyone means by read the rules. If it comes up in the search results you can book it (assuming DL.com doesn't throw up on itself). What folks are saying is be careful with the I fares and know what you are booking. TheI fares often are very restrictive and may have uncommon restrictions or restrictions that you have never seen before.
