Unbelievable, alive again!
Just booked LGA-MCO and FLL-LGA on 4/20 and was able to change to 3/25 and 4/5.
Great for last minute pesach plans.

Route specific again?

I booked SMF-LGA on April 20th (same date as above two posts) and was not able to change for free to earlier (more expensive) date.

Not sure it’s working on all routes. I did last night from MDW-MCO and just now from BNA-ECP and it worked for me.

Update 3/22/21: Available again, this time for at least may 11th-15th but probably other dates as well.  DOC
Always praying for delayed baggage.

I was not able to change it online but it worked fine over the phone... changed to different dates for more expensive times... for free

Is there a list anywhere of which airports are interchangeable, or do you have to try things and see what happens?

ETA: I suppose it can be the options that autosuggest when you type an airport?

Do you have to book to see allowed airport changes?

ETA
Does the duration of stay have to be the same?
