Hmm, it could be because there are system wide IRROPs right now, or maybe it's just DL IT.
My current trip is in Y both ways, but when I make a dummy booking online with the original departure date (keeping Y) but the new return date I see some attractive prices for the return portion in F. The new fare would actually bump me up in status, so that's a plus. Does anyone think there's a chance DL would waive a change fee to change the return portion to a new date but in F? (I know, I'm probably being optimistic
)
