I thought SDC only allows for changes to flights that same calendar day?!? Can I change from Wednesday PM to Thursday AM? My life would be a lot easier if there was a late night flight. My 6pm-ish flight is the last one of the day.
Yes once you check in for your flight at 6 PM local time today start searching for SDC opportunities, It’ll be a rolling 24 hours so you’ll see flights from 6 PM tonight until 6 PM tomorrow night. As time goes on the 24 hour rolling period will increase.. as other said keep an eye on it And perhaps you will prevail. Remember you must find space that has your same booking class so if you have a higher booking class ticket youhave greater opportunity You could do this all on the app view your reservation scroll down to take an earlier flight click on that and then I’ll start showing the SDC opportunities
