As an example, let's just say my route was JFK-LAX-MEL-SIN-LHR-JFK. If I changed the dates of the LHR-JFK flight before flying the JFK-LAX flight, would it prompt a reprice for the ticket fare? I believe from what I've read that if I wait until after I've flown JFK-LAX to rebook the date of LHR-JFK, it wouldn't prompt a reprice.
From the section in the wiki on Ticket Changes:
- If you are making the changes before departure, then changes to ticketed points or to the first segment (even just a simple date change) will result in a re-price if the fare has increased.
and
- Ticketed point changes are changes to the list of airports in the itinerary – dropping or adding points, reordering the list, and also changing stopovers to transits or vice versa.
Your proposed change is not a change to the first segment or to ticketed points
and so it will not trigger a re-price
