From Reddit

As per the example in the Reddit thread. The user wanted to book a flight at 6PM which costs $350. The 9AM flight however is $109. If you book a Flexitime Fare for 9AM, you can then change to the 6PM fare for free saving you $241. The caveat is that there may not be room with the later flight so that's a risk.

The key is to hop on at 12AM on the day of your flight and change it ASAP. Anyone tried it?

    Think you have the wrong alternative store, should be airnewzealand.co.nz.

    My sister has done this a few times. Can be risky on regional routes, but probably ok on the main trunk routes. She has even missed out on her perfect flight a main route when trying to change just after midnight.
    I almost did it because I need to go to Auckland on the same weekend Coldplay are playing, but then found Jetstar flights a day later for much cheaper anyway.
