For DEN-GLA I have found the change rules via Expertflyer and I've put them below. In essence you have to reprice to the higher fare including changes to taxes, using today's fares. It does say travel on that fare basis needs to be completed by 30 September, this was an "emergency" ticketing rule brought in when no-one much was travelling. There is a diffferent fare basis for the return which presumably isn't an issue. There doesn't appear to be a penalty on the fare basis, despite the wording allowing for it (unless it's buried somewhere I can't spot). The ticket is non refundable. So what you need to do is call on the USA line during USA business hours, before about 16:30 hrs Eastern, ideally, and hopefully you will get Newcastle. Alternatively call the Prague or Barcelona numbers during European office hours to get Bremen. However because you used Avios on this I think Bremen may decline to touch this - I'm not entirely sure on this one, it certainly applies if making a UuA. So the conversation you want is "I want to move just the outbound to this new date, by all means remove the UuA to do this, the return to Denver is OK." They should then be able to reprice in Economy/ World Traveller, and we will worry about UuA on another occasion. Alternatively wait until BA cancels your LHR-GLA flight.
