I have a CMB-HKG-JFK award booked since the start of the year..
I now would prefer to start at HKG, will they let me drop the CMB leg, or do I have to do a cancel/rebook?
I fear I will not get the HKG-JFK seats back if I have to cancel
im speaking from 75k experience, but I don’t think dropping a segment is a big deal. You may have to pay a fee since your originating in a difference city, but you certainly will not have to start over.
