I've never found a routing through IST. Can't change dates. This is the return of a ticket so I have to work within DL and possibly ST.

I work in BG so this is my trip home for Christmas. That's why things are kind of inflexible.

I was told by a DL agent when I asked about being rerouted on a ST flight connecting to a DL flight (not a DL-code share flight connecting to a DL flight) that reticketing would be involved and costs would probably increase.

Anyway, I will call and see what they can do and beg and plead and cry if I have to.
