...And thanks for the heads up! The first thing I did when reading this thread was taking a screen shot of my status.
Exactly, why complain when you are getting more than you are supposed to? I haven't done that for a while now, I think they have fixed it.

Yes, I did add a bag on at IST for a flight to LAX, no queue. The only thing is the extra security for everyone at the gate for all flights to the US and Canada. I couldn't even bring a bottle of water on board when we were boarding to IAH in December. It's like SSSS for other airline but with TK everyone is SSSS. I accept this because I still think TK is better than other "full-service" airlines.

So I took a screenshot, I imagine this glitch will apply also to those booking directly with Turkish.
Screenshot shows 4 steps, the last being Payment. I expected to got to the payment page and be shown 0 amount due or if the change of destination was outside the allowed distance, then a change fee. But instead, for involuntary schedule change, it simply skips this step and auto-confirms whatever you selected.
What is an unexpected bonus, my fare class has changed and I am now getting credited 100% miles for one leg of this flight where before I was getting 0. Seems like this has all worked out rather well.
Tell me which other airline gives you this? UA is keeping original booking class when there's a schedule change. It is not a glitch for people who booked directly with TK, I have been able to do this multiple times. That's why you are lucky that you can do this without having to go through your travel agent and pay them a fee to do this - the ones here in Scandinavia typically charge about GBP 50 per ticket per change as a service fee - something that TK never charges.
