Changes to saver fare
 

Looking to book a cheap 1-way ticket. Fairly sure of date/time but not 100%. If I book a Saver fare, waiver states I can cancel my trip. If I book a Main fare, the ability to change the flight is listed (difference in price may apply, of course.) But what I don't get is, if I want to change a Saver far, can't I just cancel it and re-book the new flight? What flexibility would I gain re: changes by bothering with Main?

• If you purchased a Saver fare for travel through December 31, 2020, you may:
  • Cancel your trip without a fee and deposit the funds into My Account wallet or receive a credit certificate for future travel.
• If you purchased a nonrefundable First Class, main, or award ticket for travel through December 31, 2020, you may:
  • Change your trip without a fee. A fare difference may apply to your new itinerary.
  • Cancel your trip without a fee and deposit the funds into My Account wallet or receive a credit certificate for future travel.

Yup. So long as the Covid waivers remain in place, it makes no sense.

With a saver fare, you cancel & receive a credit. You then purchase a new ticket using the credit as part or full payment.

With other fares, you pay the fare difference for a change. Same difference.

How many changes can one make to a main fare? One? Infinite? If latter, that might bring some flexibility if covid waiver goes away?

Infinite As of now but when the Covid waiver ends so does the free change policy for Restricted main cabin Fares. Change fees are And will continue (per policy) to be waived for MVPG & 75K.
