Is it better to purchase a RT or 2 OW tickets? There is a decent chance the baby could be born outside my Thrs-Mon dates, meaning I would have 1 or maybe 2 change fees. Is there a strategy I should consider here?
What would the advantage be in a 2 OW tickets?

RT = one change fee if you need to change both dates.
