Obviously if the return date doesn't work out, then I can either cancel the whole booking (and pay the fee) and go through the same steps in booking to secure both outbound & inbound seats. Thanks for taking the time to confirm!
i couldn’t think of a better term, so I just made one up.
but yes you are correct. Book with any valid dates and then when the dates you want open up and if space is available. Call to switch.
You can switch multiple times. So if you see a date that might work for you a couple days before the date you really want. Switch to that and then go from there
