-Am I permitted to make adjustments to both directions even if only one had a schedule change?
-Am I permitted to switch from a connecting flight to a nonstop?
-Am I permitted to use a co-terminal airport?
1- Yes, I did that in the past
2- Yes
3- You could change the origin/destination airport within 150 miles radius from the originally booked one.
By the way, a kind reminder that only the first change would have the fare difference waived. If you would like to do a voluntary change after you have re-ticketed your booking with new tickets, you might be asked to pay a fare difference.
