It is irrelevant.. the fair thing to do would be to charge a small fee for the change, say $25 and the difference in the fair at the rate when the change is made.
Under this scenario, AA would have charged him $25 for the change and $100 for the difference between the $300 and the $400. Total $125. Instead, they gouged him for $700. Even my nemesis Ryanair would have only charged the change fee and the difference in fair.
It is gouging, plain and simple.
