As for changing an airport from a stop to a connection or vice versa, I don't personally know if it is supposed to trigger the re-route or not and I would appreciate if someone could point me to an authoritative source for the definition of "ticketed points." I see the logic in what [MENTION=77686]ernestnywang[/MENTION] writes, because the fare calculation always specifies X vs O so it would make sense that changing this is a reroute, but since I don't know the precise definition of "ticketed points" I am not sure. I've had airline agents make such changes without charging me the $125 fee, but that could have just been agent error. When making RTW bookings with dummy dates that I intent to change, I always make sure that any place I want to stop has more than 24 hours between flights, and any place I want to connect has under 24 hours, because I want to be safe.
