Good, wondering in what thread this would fit. Trying to keep it brief: we're looking to go SMF-BOS in late August/early Sept. There are some one-way options at $390 in F: for two of us, it would be a reasonable amount over the ETC we have. The connection fitting the time we want, avoiding a red-eye or arriving too late for the bus ride to our home area, connects at ORD. We'd somewhat prefer a transcon and a short flight, so that could mean connecting at SFO or IAD. If we book the ORD connection and get a schedule change of at least two hours, can we change it with no additional fare to anything with two seats in F?
