Between USD/CAD, obviously, the CAD is less, but I think you don't get the choice, as it has to be charged in the currency in which the ticket is paid.



It may or may not give them the info. they are looking for.

I've seen too many instances, almost every time I use change flights tool, where on a simple, say, XXX-ORD-YYY connection, it doesn't show what should be standard options within the new search criteria - say XXX-ORD-YYY with a 1 - 2 hour connection. Heck, sometimes those simple all-UA connections don't show up in a regular search even though they should, so I always now compare with google flights, or by doing multi city XXX-hub1-YYY and XXX-hub2-YYY, etc. to make sure I'm not missing potential options. Even when the right flights do show up for change flights, it often shows a fare difference where they shouldn't be - where the new flights have same fare-class availability and meet the conditions needed for that class, but still show a fare difference. That is why when changing flights, I always do a normal search from scratch (including using Google Flights and multi-city as mentioned above) to give me the full list of options. Then I'll either make the change online if it allows (which is only sometimes, at best), or give the specifics to an agent to make the change over the phone.
