I have an ICN-SEA-SFO flight on OZ/UA in J booked with Aeroplan miles. Due to an equipment change, the ICN-SEA leg is now on an A333 with OZ's old J. I would like to rebook/change to another flight (I'm finding availability on OZ ICN-SFO or on EVA, ICN-TPE-SFO).

I understand I'm within the 21 day cancellation window where I would have to pay a fee to change my flight, but would I be able to do that online by cancelling my booking and rebooking one of the other flights I found (I know I'd still have to pay the fee) or is that something that can only be done by an agent over the phone (rebooking a cancelled itinerary)?

Thanks!

Though you can't do this online, just call in and change your flights. You cannot cxl it because it's within 21 days and therefore miles won't be returned to you, but so long as you're willing to fly it, just have it changed and you won't have an issue.

This re-affirms my statement earlier (last page) about the OJ needing to occur at the "destination" point, and not in between. jmvnice got away with an OJ that broke this criteria:

It happened to me once as well - though on the old system, where more or less anything went. Good old days. Hehe.
