Flex Fare Change

Sorry if repeated elsewhere. Booked on a flex fare YYZ-YVR flight departing 10.55pm April 12th. Same day change at airport is supposed to be $75. But if on that day I need to change to next flight which is 7am next day, does that incur date change /fare difference fees? Or will the $75 cover it?

It will be date change/fare difference. I SDC all the time, and whether it's a system limitation - or strict adherence to the SDC policy - I've never been able to do a change which crosses a calendar date (unless there were IRROPS).

You must come from a land that you can change for free on ANY fare within 24 hours

Youre discovering AC Flex is not actually flex

You can change 7562 to 430 though. So I guess there is "some" flexibility.

I wonder if you could move 7562 to 7564 or vice versa... never tried that...

Is there a way to game the system here? Would the system allow a SDC to a flight departing after midnight, this getting you to the next calendar day, then a subsequent SDC from the post-midnight flight to the 7AM?

If it's even possible, it would mean 2 SDC fees, but might be cheaper than change fee + fare difference.
