They did mention that a change would cost $250 USD and that it is subject to price differences, which sounds like standard stuff to me.
I have no previous relationship with the Travel Agent
However, I am worried now that it appears the TA is selling a U-fare code award ticket.
There are MANY travel agents selling award tickets - and many people are happily selling their miles in exchange for cash. Every one benefits EXCEPT the person flying of course. Chances are they are award tickets issued by a partner airline like AA, which are harder to deny boarding on partner airlines.
However for an award ticket, some first time flyers will gladly pay such a 'steal' for a business class ticket. But for the rest of us, we want our miles!
I wouldn't call US$3400 a 'steal' ... Be aware when buying such tickets !!
