Upon arrival something happens that makes it desirable for me to push back my return flight by 24 hours, do you think it is reasonable for EK to ask for an additional £1100? I have no problem paying the published amendment fee (which was £150 FTR) but £1100? Jokers.
That sounds perfectly reasonable!
Imagine if you wanted to fly MAN-BLR on Mar 1 and BLR-MAN on Apr 1 but BLR-MAN on 1 Apr was busy and the fare was 3000 GBP vs returning on 2 Apr which was 1500 GBP. If the fare had a 150GBP change fee and they didn't charge a fare difference, then anyone could just book 2 Apr return and then change it to 1 Apr.
If you change to a busier flight with more expensive seats it is only fair to pay the difference whatever it may be and this is true on any airline.
