I do know from my AZ DEL-LON biz tickets on the cheap that my success with date changes were due to Alitalia staff .... while Expedia just wanted to reprice everything.

Actually, if you do know how to ask at the airport, you'll get what you want/need way easier than over the phone with some ****head who calls his supervisor and messes around with the PNR while you can't watch

This will net at least 28,000 frequent flyer miles for me per ticket with more than half of that being elite-qualifying miles.

Luckily i have a transcon to fly later today so I'll get to nap this fatigue off!
We found 3 sets of tickets for the next year
for those still looking, try Mon/Fri in Nov, Jan and Feb, there is still availability. I also found 8/12 - 15 a few minutes ago and it has an option with a 777 returning into EWR.

Just snagged tickets for 8 Jan ex YYZ, returning 12 Jan.
Could only make booking via expedia.co.uk so will wait and see. However, my SK PEK and PVG flights went OKin the end. Looking forward.

Getting to YYZ: since it's during the summer, looks like I will use FF miles to get there.
