Are you sure you can still do this? I was going to search or start a thread that an “EXP agent” told me last week that recent policy change prohibits protecting passengers on another flight. She seemed fairly knowledgeable so I was inclined to believe her.

Back to the topic, related to the previous story, I’ve switched to an earlier delayed flight that subsequently pushed back, returned to the gate after my original flight, and then canceled, leaving me stranded overnight. So now I’m extremely hesitant to switch unless it’s a weather delay affecting both flights. In IRROPS I will stay or switch to mainline flight, though, since RJ traffic seems to cancel much more frequently.
