because doing that would mitigate any benefit.
am mostly just interested in what is possible. Online reports suggest some airlines have a policy that allows fare difference to be refunded as credit but unsure if this depends on the time between booking and price dropping.
I have changed an economy fare to PE only for the return sector when there was a sale. Of course this is simply ‘buying up’ the fare, and not quite what you seem to be asking about.
Typically re-ticketing involves re-pricing the entire journey.
And sale fares have complex rules and market specific availability. A sale fare AKL-SYD-AKL might not be available SYD-AKL-SYD.
