Greetings again… currently partway through a HND-SFO-RDM-SFO-JFK/PHL-JAX-MIA-LHR-NCE-LHR-HKG-HND on an AONE3 issued by JL.
Largely because calling JL being much more of a pain than I expected (hours, reply with repricing, etc) in March I was unable to reschedule SFO-JFK until after the original flight. Ate the US$125 no show with some amount of ambivalence since they were having such long waits that it wasn’t realistic for me to change in time.

But now I’m in London, and it’s more of a combination of not knowing what I’d want to do as well as previous experience ringing JL, but I’ll have no-showed for LHR-NCE-LHR-HKG-HND by the time I change my ticket. My guess is that it’s still just a US$125 no show (and any differences to taxes, etc.) but wanted to check that t’s not a charge per segment… which would be a bit worse. And I know I should have just changed dates free of charge, knowing I could do again if I need, but JL is so time consuming to call and then send to rate desk then call back that I didn’t want to basically waste a day each time I did so. I value my day at more than $125

Finally, does anyone here know if the no show charge (which is the same amount as the change of routing charge) is separate from and in addition to a change in routing, or if I could just change the routing if I’d like now for the same price as the no show that I already have to pay. After all, including the surface JFK/PHL I have only booked 12 of my 16 segments, so I could perhaps spice up the Europe or Asia portions since I have to pay already anyway. Initial booking was based on which carriers had A space since I didn’t want to Downgrade to D… but with some more work I could perhaps find some more creative options.

Thanks for any advice - and also as a mention up thread to my question about baggage, on domestic flights in the US American still gave me 3x32 on an AONE3 ticket even in D for PHL-JAX-MIA but AS was a bit more strict ,almost charging overweight when I had about 2x25 (I had left some things in SFO to pare down the amounts from more) and relenting because after they had severely delayed a flight the day before and the agent who had checked me in didn’t charge me, they decided not to impose a charge after the reboooking. I’m also oneworld Sapphire but I think AS is one of the few in the whole alliance that doesn’t even waive the weight overage from 23 to 32 for Sapphires. To keep in mind when flying AS… I was prepared to pay since AmEx reimburses me up to $200 per year on AS (relic of something I selected a few years ago) so would not have been serious. Realised after that I probably could have used that credit to pay for my friend’s cat on the same flight… which was also $200. Have since offered my friend to take his cat on holiday later this year.
