You've made my life as LT GLD better much better on work trips.

I wasn't charged any extra fee other than the difference in fare. Not sure if it has to do with which travel agency your Concur portal uses? PLT line is the one who sent me to meeting services and the meeting services agent is the one who gave me the phone number to do these changes again in the future.

Any time I call the travel agency linked to our Concur setup they want to charge a fee but not the other way around.
