Changed award flight
 

Hi all. I used the search function and couldn't find any thread that had this issue.

I booked a seat for my cousin flying from JFK-LAS r/t Oct 16-19. Her LAS-JFK flight got changed by 7 hours (turned into an overnight flight) and the price for the return is higher by 32 elevate points. Do you think they would let me go with that?

With a schedule change, they'll generally let you have whatever you want or a free-refund (though since they don't book OAL, refund may be your only recourse if you don't like anything else on VX metal), especially when it's a 7 hour change.

Thanks! I called them and I guess since they changed the flight they let me off with out paying the extra miles. Do people general push for more things, like free upgrades or something in monetary value? Glad I was able to get the flight changed though.

Schedules change all the time. People push for all manner of things, but they don't get them. This is a US domestic flight and the carrier could simply refund the purchase price (points) and be done with it, if it were inclined.

Agreed. Appreciate your input. I just wanted to get my cousins flight to get fixed anything would have been a bonus.
