Well there's definitely wiggle room on amendment fees, I just got mine completely waived. But that had to be authorised by a manager and I imagine there has to be certain boxes that need to be ticked for them to do it. I don't know what the criteria is but I'm pretty sure the one criteria that must be met is that they make
more money. As I was buying an additional two nights in a hotel which they make commission on and all they had to do was move me to the same flight 2 days later they would make money. I might be wrong but I don't think they would have completely waived the fee if it was flight only.
