Discounted fare classes are still flexible, you just pay a change fee. Furthermore, one can go same day standby if needed without a fee on discounted fare class tickets.
Qantas allows changes on its discounted domestic fares subject to (a) paying aa AUD99 ( approx USD78 ) , (b) paying any applicable fare difference and (c) making the change prior to the day of departure
The domestic discount fares do not allow for changes on day of departure
If you want to have flexibility to change on day of departure then need to book a flex ticket
Obviously for international fares, changes will be based on applicable rules - for an AA issued ticket, can expect to be sent back to AA for any voluntary changes ( day of departure or otherwise )
