There weren’t any options online. I first asked the lounge agent about the rules, and she said rerouting wasn’t allowed. I later visited the customer service desk in the C gates area, where I was told going from a connection to a direct flight was allowed, but not the other way around. I finally asked at the gate after the second delay, but the agent there referred me back to customer service.

If the customer service agent I spoke to was correct, then you should be able to do a SDC to a direct flight.

Try it and let us know if that’s actually the case!
