For a ticket originating in South America I can make as many changes I want for USD 125, even before the first flight, correct?
Thanks,

None of the OW customer-use desktop software I've seen has ever been better than 'pitiful', so don't hold your breath. Good software can be expensive and the airlines have every incentive to do it on the cheap.
Regarding early changes to a South American ticket, is that a special rule? Ordinarily any [voluntary] change before first flight results in a ticket re-issue using new pricing and rules.
Starting in South America used to be expensive. Has anyone looked at starting in the Caribbean? North American pricing translated to the currency of the owning country?
