Changing RFS
I don't have time to call up and ask at the moment. As from other threads on the board I can see that if you book a one-way RFS ticket that you then want to cancel, you forfeit the £17.50 taxes, and you do not have to pay an additional £17.50 as this page suggests.
My situation is I have a one-way RFS that I want to change to the next day. Am I right in assuming this will cost me £17.50, even though the page above suggests £35. GCH made the booking if that makes a difference.

So I'd be better off cancelling and rebooking. BA seem to want £35 to change the ticket, which means the total cost is £17.50 for the RFS + £35.
If I cancel, then the total cost would only be £35...
Is it worth calling them?

Additional cost to cancel and new booking is only £17.50 for the new booking. So cancel and making a new booking would be cheaper than changing.
Calling won't result in a different answer. You can do the cancellation and new booking online anyway.

OK that's great thanks. I only mention calling them to see if I can just change it direct for £17.50 rather than having to cancel and rebook out of ease. But I probably shouldn't mention calling BA and ease in the same sentence.

In other words, you might as well do it yourself online.
