If you are really making last minute (i.e., less than 7 days in advance) decisions, go ahead and buy them now, as the $200 change fee is less than the fare difference.
Thank you for these information. I did not know about 21, 14, 7 days rules. Will look into this. Then I guess this means there is no need for me to book 3 months ahead of time, just 22 days? And I get the lowest fare if there are still seats on the plan?

Thanks!
