I followed your suggestion and booked the trip. Will call in and go from there. Thank you very much for educating me on this!

On a separate topic, I have an SEA-SFO-HND trip departing in 2 weeks, SEA-SFO in AS and SFO-HND in JL, with a ~4hr layover in SFO. In ExpertFlyer I see coach saver availability on a later SEA-SFO flight, so I'm trying to change my first leg to that flight. However, again the booking engine wouldn't let me. Is there any potential reason behind this? The SEA-SFO flight I'm trying to change to lands at 10:17am, and the SFO-HND flight departs at 12pm. I wonder if the search engine is enforcing some sort of a minimum layover time for international flights.
