Once you have paid and been ticketed:
IF you want to make a change to the first flight AND the base fare has increased THEN you must pay the fare difference.
So the person who ticketed the above itinerary (who happens to be me
) needed to be certain he could live with the dates of the first two flights
because as we all now know, the fare has increased.
While I could change the date of the second flight without penalty, to do so would create a stopover in DOH, which is not allowed because I already have stopovers in Europe/Middle East at the end of the itinerary.
I understand now the reason why the first two flights in the situation being discussed had to be locked in. Got it.

As skunker said I don't think it should be subject to a re-price of the base fare. As it stands my first leg is MPM-DOH stop. I want to make that DOH stop a stopover. If it was to go the other way (ie. a transit to a stop) then maybe a re-price would be on the cards, I don't know . . .

. . . but as
skunker suggests, I don't think a re-price would be warranted.

Interesting. Those rules do in fact suggest a re-price in my scenario.
I will double-check with QF.
