Reservation change penalty and fare difference
Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked, or if the answer is well known. Assuming I have a reservation (not Y, but not the cheapest either) on a flight which "appears" to be oversold. For my convenience, I would consider taking a different flight, the same day, which "appears" to be emptier than the original flight. If indeed this information is accurate, why would DL not waive the $200 change penalty? The risk for DL of having to pay someone some sort of compensation is that small?
Thanks
