@sonomawine you can't reroute the last sector to a different country under the same fare. Any suggestions by EK that it's possible means they're repricing as separate one way fares via DXB.

I've tried doing that once at several points and it was a no all the way (including at the transfer desk at DXB). The only exception given is under severe conditions when a route is stopped due to war. For example when DAM was suspended, reroutes were permitted to IST, BEY or AMM. Prior to that when TIP was suspended, they allowed reroutes to TUN and CAI. More recently when KBP got suspended, they allowed rebooking onto FZ which didn't even have business class (not sure if routing via MOW was allowed), I know of someone who got disadvantaged because of this cancellation, put his foot down. The only compensation given along free rebooking onto FZ was the possibility to cancel and refund.

Obviously your case involves the last sector of a return ticket so you have no option of cancel/refund.

So yeah, unless a major shake up occurs in Greece there will be no reroutes.
