Pretty sure I dropped the locator into the OLCI 'other check-in options' box -- name and locator. It presented radio buttons for 3 days -- yesterday, today and tomorrow. I clicked tomorrow, and it showed me options for Weds. I took one.

This morning, I went back in the same way. It showed me flight change options with radio buttons for today, tomorrow, Thurs. I chose Thurs, and made the change.

But now when I try to put in name / locator, it just says 'your flight is over 24 hours from now' (which is true). So I guess we'll have to see what happens when I get within 24 hours again -- will it give me flight change options for the next 2 days? or just the 24 hours like usual? (actually it was more than 48 hours -- really 2 full calendar days + current day).

As I think about it, all 3 times I've seen this, I had some sort of irrops / protection. 2 years ago, I was rebooked in Y. On the outbound of this trip (separate ticket) I was rebooked in Y. On this trip, I had an auto-protection show up in my locator in Y. (made the flight, so it's just sitting there)
