And report back
However it's not a change to nonstop, unless the JFK-LAX and LAX-SYD flight share the same number. However it would be an exception to the international policy. However I find in general if done before checking bags there's better luck. At the airport would be no issue. However since also need a co-term change it would require being done over the phone.
