What about the numerous HKG to TPE flights? Will they enforce the reissue fee? Or are they more lenient in these cases / routes?
Thanks.
They can enforce the penalty. They almost did that to me on an upgrade award on a return from TPE, but found an excuse to waive it (my original flight was delayed by 30 minutes).
Seeing that they swapped your equipment, you have a good excuse to hop on an earlier flight with PEY (or without) without paying the penalty. You may want to try that out.
