Bingo! I always travel on the same day, I know that much in advance but meetings change things all the time, like today (which I knew about 2 days ago...hence waiting until midnight to change it). This is the first time I have purchased a HBO fare, which I will never do again as I have found out the hard way (by not checking that you couldn't change it FOC on the day of travel).
