(1) Prior to departure
(a) Changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. If the first flight coupon is being changed, and the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply.
This explains my situation. CX will reprice my ticket because there WAS an increase in fare since I purchased it. {fare difference of ZAR29,460 plus tax difference ZAR613 per ticket}
So, if there was NO change in fare since purchase, doing date change without flying the FIRST segment will not trigger repricing. (my own assumption).
Before departure
If routing changes - repricing required
else If
1st coupon is changed - repricing is required
else
no repricing is required
Whether repricing of fare is needed or not, if a ticket reissue is performed, taxes/charges will be recalculated; if the airline is one that will do revalidations, then would expect the revalidation not to require tax recalculation
In the one I changed recently, the only change was a date change of the 2nd sector with no routing change, so had no repricing
