Any idea on when this went into effect, and applicability to tickets already issued?

Hi everyone,

Apologies for not being able to respond sooner. As is typically the case with this realm of the business, I can't provide any insight into the new change fee levels other than to say they are an adjustment to better compensate for the costs incurred when a traveler elects not to fly in a reserved seat. However, what I can tell you is that the new change fee rates are only applicable for tickets issued on or after April 18. No impact to what you may have already had on the books.
