What experience do people have where they have not actually gone back to inventory when they try to make a change that involved a cancel & rebook (of the same seats)?
This must depends how full the flights are.
I've cancelled reward seats months out on relatively wide-open flights and seen them drop back into reward inventory. I've also cancelled reward seats last min on full flights and seen them turn into revenue seats.
