Thanks for verifying, Calchas. According to EF (which, I have found, is not always right ) there is still D availability. Agent didn't even look, just pulled up my PNR and said an airline can't book a "third party" code share. If I read the rules correctly, the change would get me about 4000 more EQM. Will definitely try again. Is there a "best number" to call for BA RTW? I had been skyping to JNB as ticket was originally issued ex CPT, but US # has been willing to make some changes and I've dealt with them successfully 2-3 times, always with transfer to another agent though.
