Currently flying PIT-EWR-IAH-BJX, but had a schedule change of 1hr30min to arrive in BJX pretty late (also leaving 1hr 30min earlier). I want to just change to an earlier flight IAH-QRO. QRO is 88 miles as the crow flies from BJX, so it seems to me this would be valid based on the Jetstream rules listed in the wiki (alternative airport within 100 miles).
Just called in and the agent tried to, but failed to get this to work. Misinformed agent? Am I missing something here? Ironically she said I could refund, but it was under 2 hours
I know I could get a direct flight to IAH but I need the miles
