Paying difference between fare classes
Hi,
I need to purchase all of my airfare through my corporate travel agent. There's a flight I want to get on that has the H fare for about $80 less than the R fare. I'd like to purchase the H from my TA and then call CO and pay the difference out of pocket to the R fare.
Will CO let me do this without charging additional fees? If I need to refund the ticket, will the costs be allocated back to the proper cards (i.e., if I use a corporate and personal card for each charge)?

I believe others have had success with this by changing the fare class within the 24-hour refund window.
