Default Re: i am with you

Actually this is all about the change fee, this whole topic was started because the guy didn't want to pay the change fee, he wanted the difference of another ticket to be applied to the new ticket to cover the change fee. Your case is similar, you were gonna change to a ticket that has a lower fare, but you don't wanna pay the change fee because u feel the difference should take care of that. The change fee is a seperate charge from the fare difference, no matter what the difference is. Most cases you can't avoid the change fee no matter what airline u go to. In your situation with Delta, the change fee may appear to be offset but it wasn't, you still had to pay it and it is possible to get a credit or refund. I bought a refundable ticket on Delta once and had to change it, the fare was lower, but first I had to pay a 200 change fee before the refund was given, which was more than the change fee. Now if your issue is how they handled it then that's another topic, and their people can be a bit crass.
