I'm not questioning your experience, but as I think we both can attest to, there are the rules on paper and there are the rules that AAgents apply. And maybe the rules are different when trying to apply a BXP1 (I don't have ex.perience with those). But I am relatively certain that generally, the change fee is not waived when upfaring within the same cabin.
Nope, you are 100% correct. I was thinking of JonNYC's post #220 in that thread. I misremembered the detail of it. But I have upfared same-cabin 6 times this year alone and never a word about a fee. So, at the very least, YMMV ^
