Hello.

I currently have a ticketed DFW-AA-TUS-AS-SEA-AS-ANC award which is the final portion of a previously-used Europe-NA award (DFW was my stopover). The stops in TUS and SEA are connections. This journey only lasts one day.

If a more attractive routing opens up, what are my fee-free options? I've read from the thread and the wiki that fees may be incurred to change the carrier. I guess my question is, how is "changing the carrier" defined? In this case, I have multiple carriers to get me from DFW-ANC.

If, say, seasonal DFW-ANC (AA) has availability, may I switch to that nonstop flight with no fee? What about switching to DFW-AA-SEA-AS-ANC? What about DFW-AS-SEA-AS-ANC?

Thanks as always for your help.

Cheers,
