In general, the answer is yes. But since it is a change, you must pay the change fee (USD125), plus any additional taxes etc for the flight segment

But there are some circumstances where is might not be allowed, or might cost you more, such as:
  • The change is being made before departure - might trigger a complete recalculation of the fare if things have changed since the original booking
  • The additional flight segment causes you to exceed the number of free flight segments in the continent - an additonal fee will be payable, the amount depends on the booking class
  • the additional flight segment causes you to exceed the number of free flight segments for the continent - AND the continent in question is the continent of origin - NOT ALLOWED
  • There might be more to consider...
