and assuming I do have to pay, do I pay at the original exchange rate at the date of the ticket purchase or the actual FX rate at the date of the change?
thx in advance,
Yes, taxes and surcharges will be recalculated when rerouting and difference need to be paid. However, it's also possible to get money back, if the taxes are cheaper on new routing.
Usually taxes are calculated in the currency paid to the airline, not the fare currency.
