Anyone have any experience yet with changing a ticket from a city other than NY. I am trying to upgrade a ticket from Chicago but they said they won't provide me with a ticket from Chicago to NY and I would have to get one myself. Doesn't look like I'll be upgrading.

If you manage to convince them somehow PLEASE let me know. They are completely stonewalling all my attempts to change away from NYC.

they're not giving away free tickets, they're helping people who have tickets already book non-stop. I don't understand you.

I would rather have a stop in NY then another country where a lot more things can happen, plus I would prefer to take the non-stop from NY as I don't have to deal with going through other countries

was able to switch out 11/19 to 11/17 for 7 ppl! worth it since I had a 5 hour layover, i gain 2 full days. I also changed another ticket I had in march for 2 ppl from mon nt to sat nt. I told them I wasnt ready to decide about the return yet they said I can still call till 8/31 and change that portion
bottom line very accomodating!

Thanks for the Israeli number. After being told it's not possible numerous times, I made the changes I need

I called the Israel line twice and got two different reps. I think they may notate the reservation when you try to change it because the second rep knew what I wanted right away when I called…

I am flying a Wed at 6 PM with a 6 hour stopover in Switzerland. I wanted to fly direct that night on the 11:50 flight. They said they don’t have any seats available that night. I know for a fact that flight is mostly empty (looked on Expedia). They are only offering me Thu at 1:15 from Newark or Tue at 6 PM from Newark.

Any advice? Is it because this a very in demand flight? (I should mention this is in November.)

It seems that they are being pretty accommodating if you read the previous posts.  Worth a shot! And call the Israel line - it's a 2-7 minute wait as opposed to 10-65 minutes on the US line.

They only offer it on select flights, it is not dependent on how empty or full the flight is.
