I was asked to pay the difference in taxes ~$9, which I didn't bother to resist. Surprised text line processed my payment using card on file, too.
Is this tax thing something new? I did most recently sdc'ed LAS-SEA-BOS into LAS-PDX-LAS-BOS to squeeze out my 12th segment last November with no problem.
Not speaking to the taxes, but don't be surprised if this doesn't work in the future (changing routing, changing direct to a connection or vice versa). It's against the fare rules and AS has been clamping down on it. YMMV.
