Useful if trying to SDC and push back a flight more than one day.
Going through the regular change flight process flow works for paid tickets too. Fare difference will be $0 if SDC criteria is met (same fare class available, etc.). Haven't checked to see if I could later push beyond 24 hours of initial flight though. Good to know.
