Question: This fare has 14D adv purchase requirement. But it has free change. If I need to withing 14day window, can I book with dummy dates and change dates to pull forward withing 14days (as long P class is available)?

Thanks

Hijacked by SkyTeam convo, this thread really got irrelevant for *A people

Next time, perhaps the OP would care to create two separate threads. I wasted a good six minutes of my life filtering through all the sky team material. In which I have zero interest.

Yes, it is listed in expertflyer. It is not easily found but I am able to structure it on ITA Matrix and GF against P class and price it on united for 2150.

2100 is a bit more than 1600....

I have this as a successful booking through a TA:
IAH-YYZ-LHR (AC)- DXB (EK)- 3 day stop- ZRH (LX) - 2.5 month stop -VIE-YUL (OS)-IAH (AC)
Just finishing up the first one of these that I booked, that began in April. Definitely one of the best non-mistake fares in a while - got to try all these different airlines, the AC signature suite at YYZ, EK lounge LHR and A380 onboard bar, the great catering of OS... and LX paid for half of the total trip cost by me accepting a downgrade to poor man's J on the DXB-ZRH segment!
MaxFlyer, rayfes and tr3k like this.

Business class was overbooked on that segment.... I accepted a voluntary downgrade offer at checkin, which was an 800 EUR prepaid debit card in exchange for giving up my seat up front, to move to an entire middle row of 4 seats in economy.
