Specific example - I booked SEA - ISB roundtrip on qatar. The outbound flight is automatically moved by the airline by 24 hours (they stopped running on thursdays), while the inbound leg is unaffected. I haven't called them about this change yet. Based on above change by the airline, can I request qatar that while I'm fine with them moving my outbound flight by 24 hours, can they please do a 500-mile free-change/no-fare-difference-payment on the inbound to LHE-SEA (so basically the change is SEA - ISB // LHE - SEA).
Has anyone tried something similar, is it HUCA or is this official policy that 500 mile change becomes eligible on both legs if one is impacted.
Most likely they didn't change the departure time of your flight to 24 hours later, they auto-rebooked you to the next day's flight instead ( your original flight got cancelled ) so you would be able to change your destinations within 500 miles. There is no issue with that.
