This involves reissuing the ticket, which is at least partly the reason for the rule that SDC is permitted only after all international legs have been flown; international ticket reissues can be complicated and time consuming, with most agents being unable to do this themselves.
I meant in advance of a SDC. My wife and I had a trip where there wasn't a schedule change and I honestly just wanted better flight times. It was on UA and we were routed MSP-DEN-SFO-PPT. They changed it to go MSP-SFO-PPT. Sometimes brand loyalty helps as I was/am 1K. I explained that I didn't realize the connection time was so tight in DEN and yada yada. They surprisingly didn't ask any or many questions and happily obliged.
I guess my point is that it's worth a shot. Worst thing that can happen is they say no. But again, didn't mean to try this day of for a SDC.
