I always hear you get charged the change fee + difference in new ticket price. My question is - what if the new ticket price is lower? Do you get credit/refund?

Thanks.

To be clear, the fare difference must be greater than change fee to get any credit back. If the new fare is $150 less and the change fee is $200, you will still have to pay $50.
