That is a huge improvement for Aadvantage elites!
Do I sense a growing division among flyers between the "haves" (elite status members) and the "have nots" (the Kettles and their ilk)? Reminiscent of the growing rift in society in general... |
Wow great news! ^
I wonder if the fee exemption for EXPs will allow you to change tickets mid-travel. |

That's great for no EXP re-deposit fees. This is one of the few areas that DL DM was better than AA EXP....

Thank Delta for initiating these changes June 3. Elimination of the close-in award fee is valuable to me.

Of course, by the time the close-in fee kicks in, most saver awards are unavailable.

I don't see why not as long as it is an award ticket. Of course I though one could do that right now on award tickets, assuming you mean date and time changes.
