3 – Do I risk the ticket being ‘reissued’ (at a much higher price) if I look to alter the routing or is it just a $125 reroute fee ? Is this fee per flight or for each set of changes you make ?
4 - Can I add segments without risking a reissue ?
4 – If a route is discontinued and I end up having to add an extra segment through no fault of my own, would that count against my 16 segment limit ?
Thanks
1. Yes.
2. Yes. but you cant change a connection to a stopover for free (vice versa.... it depends on the airline, and they may be lazy to re calculate it so they let people slide.)
3. after you fly the first segment, you wont be charged for extra fare unless you add continents.
4) when you add segments, this is a reissue. do it after you fly the first segment.
5) i believe if you book on A - B on date X and your flight on date X is cancelled, you will be rerouted for free. However, if the flight A - B is cancelled after date Y where Y is later than X and you intend to move to date Y but you are still confirmed in date X, then you would need to pay a rerouting fee if you want to change to date Y with a connection. if you are over 16 segments at that point, you will have to change the route.
