- 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

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?
You can change source, destination, routing, or airline. In fact you can cancel and pay $125 to redeposit the miles and make a brand new booking (though this will cost you an extra $12.50, since the partner booking fee is not refunded if you do this -- if you change the ticket you don't pay the partner booking fee again). If it's EK you can do this all online.
As for
#2 , I'm not sure. I think they should waive it but I've heard mixed reports.
