Booked a B fare PEK to EWR return - we want to change the day that we return to Beijing. CO.com shows a $170 change fee per ticket...I thought (although I am routinely wrong) that there wasn't a change fee as my wife and I are both plats and we purchased the B fare.
We are ticked to depart EWR on 8/5 and we would like to depart to 8/4. There are seats available on the 8/4 flight.
Thanks!
You need to look at your fare rules, which tell you in somewhat unclear terms what the rules for change fees are. There are B fares that have change fees and there are those who can be changed for nothing. Are your tickets refundable? If they are, then you may want to check and see if you could refund your fare and buy another B fare. Of course, there has to be availability of B fares and the current price has to be less than what you would pay in change fees.
Finally, you can always do the thing when you get the answer you don't like and that is hang up and call again. Good luck
