Wondering what my options are. At some point my ticket was changed and they did allow a similar alteration free of charge on inbound portion. Didn't think to deal with this then.
You can do SDS/SDS at the airport only after all international flights. Thus can be done before you're at ATL. Since you'll be done with all simply ask at ATL before you drop your bags. While no name matching on bags for domestic flights, the system sees it as an international reservation and will make changing harder. Harder means some agents won't do it.
