How long can you keep rescheduling last leg of an award ticket
Hello,
I have been rescheduling the last leg of an award ticket for almost a year now (booked it back when you could book a "free" one way after a trip to Europe - i.e. LAX-Europe-LAX-Hawaii).
I was wondering if I can reschedule as long as needed or if it's somehow time limited.
Thanks.

Correct. There will be a fare rule (yes, award flights still have fare rules!) that the ticket is only valid for 1 year from date of purchase. Changing the date of the flight doesn't change the clock on that.

Thanks guys! Indeed I did not realized there were "Award Rules"... and in there it says "NOT VALID AFTER 4/16/2017."
