Beware that both AC’s and BA’s policies are changing soon.

After Feb 28, only the first change on any given AC ticket is free. Subsequent changes will carry a change fee (where one would be applicable).

For BA, change fees are currently only waived on new tickets if all travel is complete by August 31st. If any portion of the ticket is beyond August 31st then standard change fees are back. (Oddly, this is incongruous with AA’s current policy, which still waives all change fees, so you can get a lot of those flights as AA codeshares with the more generous policy.)
