changing ticket vs. buying new one
I bought a one way ticket for $144. I'm thinking about changing the date but there would obviously be the $150 change fee. The date I want to change to is this saturday and the one way ticket is still $144. I booked the original ticket last week, so no more 24 hour window....am i missing something or is my best option still to just buy the new ticket and cancel the first one since it would be cheaper?

I'd just by the new one.
If you have an amex plat and haven't used the $200 airline incidentals, now'd be a good time to use it

Problem is the change fee will just kill the ticket value, so you'd end up purchasing a new ticket anyway and not sure if the Amex incidental will pick that up.
