Itinerary changes when visa rules change suddenly
I restart my RTW next week flying to New Zealand continuing on to Bali in early Feb. At the moment, US citizens do not need a visa. Recent news media stories indicate that will change in Feb. I contacted the Indonesiand embassy in Washington and all they knew is that changes are coming and nothing more. I want to visit Bali, but the uncertain visa rules may be a problem if I am travelling abroad when the visa rule changes take effect.
So, I am in Hong Kong and I suddenly want to change the HKG-DPS–HKG segments to HKG-xxx-HKG. Can the CX office make such a change on short notice even if it is a BA issued RTW ticket? I will pay the change fee and additional taxes if any. I will not deal with BA. I would rather go to the dentist than deal with the BA RTW desk and its tariffs desk. Any info from Hong Kong based FT’ers would be greatly appreciated.
