What skunker says is true

However, if the price has not increased since you bought it, then yes you can change the date of the first flight without penalty.

You cannot "push a trip indefinitely". The airlines' General Conditions of Carriage normally state that the first flight must be within one year of the original ticketing date. For example the BA conditions state:

Quote:

3b) Ticket validity period
3b1) Unless it says differently on the ticket, in these conditions of carriage, or in any tariffs which apply, a ticket is valid for travel for:
•one year from the date it is issued or
•one year from the date you first travelled using the ticket, as long as your first flight took place within a year of the ticket being issued.
