That is also how I understood it. Since any change prior to a USA-EU return segment is subject to re-pricing by the rate desk.

This trip is pretty fixed (so it's no big deal); but I learned the hard way that if I'm flying into the USA and returning from a different city, better to book the international separate from the domestic (that is between the international segments).
