does AA reisuue the eticket and confirm space in I without change fee and repricing?
seems different than upfaring where the change fee is known to be waived.
and AA’s push for complete-itinerary repricing seems another gotcha.
You bring up another issue. If the ticket is I fare, say I fare HKG CUN HKG with some sectors in Y class due to I = 0. Later on, the sector LAX CLT opens up in I. but the fare is gone. then what?
