I'm ok paying the fare difference only for the return leg if the 30% discount is applied, ridiculous website is making me rebook the departing leg too.
Worried about calling in and whether they would make this worse for me.
Not sure why I need to rebook the departing leg.
To specify, the departing leg is in lowest business, YVR-LHR and the return is in PE (O) and fully refundable.
New total to effect this change is over 5 thousand as per ac website. I'm clearly missing something here.
Odds are that is precisely what the fare rules provide for.
The other point being that if two segments are under different rules, the most restrictive one applies to the whole itinerary. So the O leg is no longer refundable.
