Is this about right? We got some notification that this would be the policy on roughly Feb 2, when phone agents read us this written policy, but I don't think we otherwise got advance notice of this subtlety. I think we might have made different decisions (booking IAD-FRA in UA F instead of BOS-FRA in LH J) if we had been told that this was the plan. (I don't mean to sound petulant here — we really do appreciate getting all this information and we know we're getting it as far in advance as is possible.)
A subsequent question is that I have been trying to change my reservation involving: BKK-FRA-IAD with TG O and LH I. If LH O becomes available on FRA-IAD (on Feb 16), a ticket will be repriced? did I understand that correctly? If the rule was clear a few days ago, I could have booked myself on UA O FRA-IAD.
