when you change the date, if the underlying fare basis is no longer there, then they have to reprice it.
basically I think the nightmare will start when these people need to change dates,
I can see it on my GDS if I set the historical ticketing date to the 31st December.
Does ATPCO even provide a mechanism to obliterate a fare from its authoritative history? I shall peruse the docs to see if they provide any such mechanism to the airlines.
Repricing a fare component after travel has commenced is always done at the historical rate, in the absence of mistakes at least. That rules comes straight out of the IATA ticketing handbook. The only exceptions I know is when carriers have simply refused to touch the ticket again. (Always happy for a learning experience though...)
