As a reminder, the existing change process will apply, and any change that requires an award to re-price will require an add/collect of the additional miles under the new award price structure. Fees for change/cancel will still apply per our existing policies. Changes that will not trigger a re-price for itineraries ticketed before February 3, 2014 include:
- Date/time (cabin, region, and award type can’t change)
- Carrier on one or more segments (cabin, region, and award type can’t change)
- Origin/Destination within the same regions (carrier and cabin can’t change)
I'm not quite sure if my proposed change will trigger a re-price as per point 3 here.
Here's what I have:
AUS-ORD-FRA (UA F)
FRA-BKK (TG F)
BKK-CDG (TG F)
(stopover in Paris for a few days)
CDG-FRA-EWR-AUS in LH I (CDG-FRA) and UA F
Here's what I want:
AUS-IAH-FRA (LH F)
FRA-BKK (TG F)
BKK-CDG (TG F)
(stopover in Paris for a few days)
CDG-FRA-IAH-AUS in LH F
My regions are staying the same, so any speculation on whether or not this would be legal and not trigger a re-price? I assume I'll have to pony up a change fee T-14, correct?
