If booked in "Y" and then "J" inventory becomes available and an agent then changes the booking to be in "J", then there is a rebooking - changing a booking such that the booking is in "j" rather than "y" is as much a rebooking as any other change. There is no change of fare

If a waitlist is at the gate hoping that there will be space, then that is different
