I’m flying from NYC to SFO later this month. My flight is Friday at 6:30pm. I’d like to try to leave earlier but the fare differences for the earlier flights are all $250-350, which I’d rather not pay.
I’m thinking about trying the $75 same-day switch option, but I only found out about that policy recently. Has anyone had success with that option? Should I expect there to be availability right when it opens up at midnight or will I likely be SOL?
