Booking award flights for web specials
The T&C's say no changes. Does this also apply to EXP's? There are some low award redemption rates to Tucson this weekend and was curious before I click confirm. Any other award ticket I can cancel free of charge.

I believe “no changes” on web special awards is like “no upgrades” for Basic Economy; both seem to offer no exceptions based on status.

So, it's basically just the extra step of cancelling and re-booking as opposed to being able to make a simple change -- EXPs really aren't affected otherwise.
