I have a fully-flex ticket for a multi-city itinerary, on both KL and AF metal (booked using the multi-city on klm.com, although I could also have booked it on airfrance.com ).
I need to change one leg of this itinerary (the fare rules say it is possible; it's well in advance, and there is availability; and I haven't booked any extra options or made any changes that would prevent further online changes). Unfortunately, when I go to 'Manage My Booking':
- On klm.com, the 'Change your ticket' option is greyed out (for all legs)
- On airfrance.com, it says 'This reservation is not eligible for online modifications'
I have a separate ticket, for a very similar routing (but booked as a return on airfrance.com, not a multi-city itinerary on klm.com) and when I view that reservation, the 'Change Your ticket' option is highlighted and available.
I am inclined to interpret this as meaning that "multi-city itineraries cannot be modified online". (It can't be a POS issue, as both have the same POS, and I doubt it's a ticket stock issue, even though one is 074 and one is 057).
Is anyone else able to confirm this? (Apologies if I've missed an existing discussion, but I couldn't find a thread anywhere).
I suspect the vast majority of AF/KL's pax fly on straightforward return (or one-way) tickets so this is not a huge issue for them - but personally, I find multi-city functionality very helpful. So, it'd be unfortunate if you can't change multi-city itineraries online.
