I don't want to change the dates, I just want the opportunity to possibly obtain the RA benefits. Does anyone have any suggestions, in method to contact the hotel to try and change this booking? or are there other options. I'd be happy to pay extra to change the booking from a F&F to a normal rate. but thought the font of knowledge that is FT may have other suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Hi jcbranch,

I did this one once last summer in a HIE in the UK..
However, It costed me quite some effort to explain this was a win win
situation...

My experience with the IC Bali, not a lot chance they will do this upfront, but you might want to touch the subject on checkin (however try to speak with a senior for this)
