I've done the Venice to Sydney in January and am doing the Sydney to Venice in May.
I called up Emirates and also tried doing it online, to move my flight (EK413 on A380) to a day earlier in May....and the option was to pay something like 15,000 euro and that was to Business (no available first class)!
Has anyone else found changing dates on a paid F class ticket quite difficult and quite a lot different to original fare paid? (I would have thought a full fare F ticket (admittedly it's almost half price when purchased originating in Europe VS purchased originating in Australia) would offer some degree of flexibility in terms of changing flights)
It seems a bit unfair and misleading to state that EK is trying to charge you 15,000 Euro without mentioning that this is for the whole family: two adults and one infant. All of the I statements in the OP make me assume that this is for travel only by the OP until I see the screen shot in post #13.
Option 1 is almost the same price as the original ticket and totally in FC. Option 2 is half in FC while Option 3 has business class only on the short connecting SYD-MEL flight. The most expensive Option 3 is still significantly less than 15,000 Euro per adult.
