Q:

We originally bought tickets for two people, but only one of us has had a change of plans. Can that person use this feature?

A:

You can use the Reservation Details page to do a reservation change for just the person whose plans have changed. Check "Change some passengers only," and the reservations will split into two sets.

Q:

What sort of situations will produce a refund instead of a fare tax difference/flight change fee?

A:

Payment is not required and a refund is issued when revised fare taxes and other fees are lower than their original total, and when the difference between these two also exceeds the reservation change fee.
In such cases, the reservation change fee is deducted from the surplus fare taxes and other fees, and the remainder is refunded to the credit card account used for the ticket purchase. Refunds are processed two to three months after reservation changes.

Q:

What are the "other specific conditions" that apply to the use of this feature?
