I seem to recall challenges changing awards this way. Any advice?
I've never had a problem doing what you're trying to do. I'm pretty sure the only way you'd see any noticeable change in fees is if the leg you were upgrading involved a departure from LHR. Otherwise, the fees should remain the same. Should be a quick phone call.
