Change Flight with Alitalia
I have a code shared AZ / EY flight I need to change. Before I call AZ I would like to know the cost of changing the return flight in the same class bracket. If there is a charge to split the PNR. Can I change the ticket to return a year later from the departure date. Thanks.

Welcome to Flyer Talk.
I suggest you to use viewtrip . com and enter your details as requested.
From there you can access the details of your ticket fare(s).
Is it a full flex business class (
), no problem .... an "use it or loose it " cheap economy ( 
) no luck.
And anything in between will have different shades of pain/fees.
Even if the travel class is the same one, Alitalia charges at 60 EUR of penalty fee (value based on an intra Europe flight)
It depends from the fare class but I'll not hold the breath...

Tickets have a 1 year validity from when they have been issued, so in general your last request (unless it's a fully refundable fare, which seems unlikely) will be hard no matter the airline.

Is Alitalia different in this respect?

Ah, I always thought it was from the date of the issue, but I have no hard data on that so you may be right.

All have similar terms of validity which indicate:
a) one year from date of issue
OR
b) one year from the date of travel of the first leg, subject to that being within one year of issue.
Based on this I would say the OP should indeed be able to change the validity of his/her ticket as desired.
