I agree
With that in mind, how do they deal with this situation:
If an xONEx contains something like SIN-LHR-CDG, where the two flights connect on the same day/within 24 hours at LHR, I'm assuming that the ticketing carrier won't charge UK APD - perhaps this is wrong, but it would seem correct, right?
That's correct - no APD (as long the transit qualifies under UK Gov't rules - not sure if it's 24hrs or some other number)
If I was then to move the LHR-CDG flight to two days later, so it's now a stopover in the UK, by the rules of xONEx it's not a change in ticketed points
Agree - not a change in ticketed points, and therefore the USD125 change fee should not be imposed
so it wouldn't be a reissue and so would be a free change.
May or may not be a re-issue
Would not be a free change, because the airline will collect the APD off you (and any other charges that result from the change from a transit to a stopover, but in this case I don't think there are any)
