How to Set Fares for Upgrades Only

A lot of Airlines do not allow downgrades when changing flights. For example, If a passenger had a fare of 100.00, but changed his flight to another day where the fare was only 50.00, you would not want him to be able to downgrade his fare. This tutorial will show you how to set your fares to "Upgrade only". Meaning that if that passenger with the 100.00 fare, changed his dates, he could choose any fare that was at minimum 100.00 or higher.
