I wanted to check in on Alaska Mileage and award change routings. I know I will have to pay $125 fee, and that isn't a problem for me. Especially if it means I can try both EK 777 and A380.
- What restrictions (if any) are on the routing? I would like to book a DPS-DXB-JFK, but only routings have EWR. Can I change the routing for the cost of the $125? Or must the change be the same routing? Would a routing change incur an additional change in miles? If the first route was 180k, and the new one is 180k, would I just have to pay the $125
or
2) If I book a mixed Alaska itinerary, and one of the legs opens up in business/first, can I have Alaska upgrade that leg with (or without) the $125 fee?
