ET/WT ticket flexibility
Dear all...
I were about to buy a Milan-LA (ET/WT) ticket and i had some flexibility issues-
These are the conditions for my ticket regarding changes
"Changes : Time/date changes permitted at any time before each flight departure for a change fee of €100 or an upgrade fee of €100 plus any difference in fare. Changes subject to availability.If you cancel before your first flight a fee of €100 applies."
however, further down the page there is an option to increase flexibility (seemingly as it is![Confused](https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
)
"Do you need to be able to change your travel plans?
Why not increase the flexibility of your ticket?

Is there no difference to the ticket's flexibility whether I pay the E100 or not? My instinct is, there is indeed no differences.
And regarding the same issue, if i were to change my LAX-LHR and LHR-LIN together, would I be paying E200 and their respective fare differences?

Weird - most Economy buckets have the same fare rules so it appears to be offering you one higher up the hierarchy - perhaps moving you up to one that earns points?
