Thanks CWS, if I change flights and back again there will end up being fees to pay for both transactions so that's not a great option I think.

I might just buy an extra bag... although family is suddenly rebelling about wanting more luggage and once I've added more than a couple of 23kg bags to a basic itinerary, we might as well have the standard one with all the extra/heavier bag allowances that silver gets... I'd like to see the price differential though, but it may just be that I'll have to call...
