I am actually okay with the itinerary change, but what would happen if I were to cancel, get a refund, and re-book the same itinerary at the lower price? Would there be any negative repercussions by doing this? Would I be abusing the relaxed change/cancellation policy too much and therefore hastening the return of high change fees?
