If any change fees are payable, it would also be priced together with any fare difference.
Thanks Zawnet. I see it now. Looks like I'm only offered a D fare and not the Z.

1. Reissue the ticket to D class as upsell won't incur reissue fee
2. Reissue the ticket to a higher econ fare class but will incur RM200 change fee and fare difference
3. Depending on when you are flying. Keep monitoring for Z fares as "some" but not all Z could be "upgradeable" without a fresh booking.
4. Make the ticket into an Open ticket or get full refund - use it for some other route within the same region or keep for future. Valid for one year just pay reissue fee and fare differences
4.1 buy a new Z fare ticket outright
Thanks, my gut was telling me upgrading at the counter would most likely be an I fare, which does nothing for me regarding CX points.
I may go the route of cancelling my V fare with the 300myr penalty then re-buying the Z fare which is still cheaper than upgrading to the D fare. Z and D don't have a points difference so I'm not gaining anything above by purchasing/upgrading to a D fare.
Appreciate both of your inputs on this!
