Was this an M fare upgraded with SWUs?
MSPeconomist, I thought international M change was $250 plus new fare if change outbound and $400 to change return on I fare.
Changes to domestic segments of internationals that have worked for me most often is when I found out about some kind of delay in my inbound flight that would make the hub connection a problem. I remember one time even getting better equipment going to AMS and it turns out the difference would have only been 10 minutes in ATL.
On the other hand, when they give us a close legal connection I thought they turned me down when I called the day prior due to a blizzard last winter as they needed to see the snow first.
