1) before departure, considering in my case it was slightly discounted, I must assume the fare in effect at the time will be higher - so I will have to pay the difference - even if I'm only changing dates, not routing?
2) after departure of first flight, I should be able to change anything, even the routing, for the $125 service fee? (as long as I am within the original ticket rules)
Thanks!
1. If you make no changes to the first flight coupon (the first flight), you pay the delta in any taxes, airport fees and airline surcharges, plus any increase in the fare. If you are changing the ticketed points or the first flight coupon, then in addition to that you pay the 125 USD fee.
2. After the first coupon is used, you can change the ticket within the original rules for 125 USD fee plus the delta in any taxes, airport fees and airline surcharges.
