Change an award ticket mid-trip
The cost to change an award ticket midtrip is $150 and the difference in miles from what I understand. I'm not exactly sure how it plays out
Original ticket was 25k round trip DTW-PBI. Flew DTW-PBI last week. Return is Friday but it needs to be Saturday. The one way ticket on Saturday is pricing out to 40k skymiles so is the cost to change $150 plus 15k skymiles for the difference between the two?
It's my mom and she has no status. The miles came from my dad who is only an FO so no PM/DM free change

Should be just the increase in miles for the return. Its pricing at 40k since DL doesn't have 1-way awards, it only shows the round trip price but she already flew half the ticket. Since it is pricing as 40k, then that means the PBI-DTW segment is at 20k. Your original flight was 12.5k back, so the difference is 7.5k miles plus change fee.
