Didn’t receive an email but our flight changed to connection at LAX which is under MCT. Tried to ask for routing to SWF rather than JFK as DL has been very liberal in the past in allowing it. Tried tonight and first agent seemed tired, said only the specific flights into JFK that she pulled up would be allowed (2 flights. 1 earlier, 1 later). I politely declined.
HUCA
2nd agent more friendly. She said that she would look into it. Came back and said 95,000 miles per person to change. I respectfully declined and thanked her for looking into.

Im curious if this is a new standard.
