It’s getting pretty hard on most carriers. If the reason is just that your schedule changed, you’re probably going to be paying it. If they changed your flight schedule by more than an hour or so since booking, that is your best bet for a fee waiver.

Just call and ask. I was able to get around it this week because they had schedule changes.

I've been able to change without change fees when citing surgery, court dates, or a wedding. You can try that (all of those were true).

Call in a bomb threat? Got me out of a physics test one time idk

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?
