There was plenty of E space on ANA HNL-NRT for my current flight, so couldn't test your hypothesis of space needed beyond that currently occupied being available.
This is what I tried to say, and yes, they did go to the rate desk. But beforehand there was something strange and whatever they tried to do didnt work.
The last agent clearly read some notes in my record and shut me down quickly, so my guess is I'm going to come up empty. So I'll fly out of kix. Want to visit Osaka anyhow.
I think the problem was I initially combined an upfare (to E/A from R) request with the native number change. And that wouldn't ticket no matter how hard they tried.
Is the right statement: I want to apply PlusPoints on my ana flight (only). Can you please change the flight number on segment to the native NH 108?
What alarm bells go off if the agent tries to do something else?
