To insure that corporate based revenue was protected, maybe even only allow such changes to itins that have a Sat. night stay and additionally only allow changes to the day before/day after/same day as originally ticketed. Most of the time, I can do these same changes through SDC or SDS so I'm thinking this would be an inexpensive bennie. However, it would provide peace of mind for two times per year when I don't feel like taking my chances with SDC/SDS. Your thoughts?
I am one of the people that believes there should be a penalty for changing a ticket. I remember when it was $50, than $75 for a short,time $100, etc. Since I am buying a ticker that is not refundable I should pay the coffer to change.

Now do I think $150 is starting to be the typical we don't want to be in the airplane business but the fee business, of course.
