Less points/extra money

[Suze]

When changing your flights because the points are lower, sometimes there are extra fees. Why is that?

If you change from a non stop to a connection or from a connection in one airport to a different airport, airport fees might be higher.

Not at all. I’ve only change them because the price/points went down for the exact same flights. So it shows that I get a credit of so many points, but then it will charge me somewhere between a Dollar to five dollars normally

Did you have trip insurance or some other add-on? Change in price for early bird?

There shouldn't be any charge related to the ticket unless you added a connection as @dfwskier mentioned you would have paid $5.60 before but now it could be $11.20.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I figured it out.  I went back and looked at all my reservations, and where they list all the prices out. It was the Mexican immigration fee, and the Mexican tourism fees that changed. So that probably fluctuates on a daily basis or so.
