But for any other flights that you booked directly via Alaska, this online option really helps!

Perhaps it's an issue with discount code + schedule change? At what point did it not allow the change?

I have a few reservations booked with discount codes that I can at least get to a point where I can select "Change flight", choose a date, and bring up a page with that has different flight options to select from. Haven't attempted to proceed from there though.

But for one of my itineraries with a cancellation, this ability went away.
