Several years ago I changed the date on a previous STAR 4 (UA) ex BKK. The ticket was "re-validated" and I did not have to pay the new higher fare. It was NOT re -issued. Someone is way off base.

Just an aside. CX is a difficult airline to purchase a RTW ticket from. Last year I purchased a RTW ticket from CX JNB. I refunded the ticket after CX JNB refused to disclose the tax break down of the ticket. The taxes charged were much higher than usual. ( $700-$900 more than a previous ticket) I had AA issue and identical ticket that was $800. less that CX charged. I was fortunate there was no refund charge in the rules at that time. I find that the overseas CX offices are difficult to do business with. I will never attempt to ticket with CX ever again.
