Change fees have. It's possible that the passenger may have the ability to make a free change to another flight, but that attempting to get a refund will generate the fee. Feel free to copy and paste the rule text (or the fare basis, cities involved, date of purchase, and dates of travel) if you're having trouble deciphering them.
ok thank you! I tried this. Unfortunately the fare rules only show for the Domestic USA ticket. It looks like a "Q-up" fare? that books in to "D".
FWIW, I posted the penalty section. Looks like Non-refundable; but "free changes"..
Sorry the international ticket is not showing fare rules. If i see it at any point, will post.
