If I change my routing a few times leading up to departure, do I need to pay a $125 re-routing fee every time I do so, or do I just pay a single $125 re-routing charge prior to departure?
Just to be very clear on this point: the $125 re-issue fee applies only after you've flown the first segment of the ticket. If you make routing changes before you ever use the ticket, you will have to get a new ticket. In other words, your original ticket will be canceled, and a completely new one will be issued. This is different from a re-issue, which modifies an existing ticket. Note that if you originate in the US there is a 10% cancelation fee involved.
