A-List Same Day Change questions

Hi all! I have tried to find this but have been unsuccessful so apologies if this info is obviously available somewhere. 

 

I am just wondering the following:

 

1) Can same-day changes for A-List members be made on the phone or must you speak to a gate agent

 

2) Can you use the same-day change for bookings made with points?

 

3) Can you change to a LATER flight or must it be an earlier flight on the same day?

 

Thanks!

Assuming you mean same day standby  

 

  it must be done at the gate, and only for an earlier flight  - works for points flights too

Sorry no, I am referring to same-day change, not standby.

Either way works

Yup, points or dollars it makes no difference

 

 

 

3) Can you change to a LATER flight or must it be an earlier flight on the same day?

 

Since you are dealing with a confirmed change it can be on any flight with an open seat.

 

Thanks!


Here are the rules:

You can make the same day confirmed change starting at midnight the day of departure by phone. 

I tried the same day change at the airport a week  ago and unfortunately not all agents seem to understand the change yet they tried telling me only WGA+ Fares get same day change they didn’t realize it didn’t matter fare type for AL or ALP customers it took 2 supervisors to get my change at the airport so personally I would do the phone method until they get more used to things at the airport as it was a cluster when I flew out of SRQ
