anyway, it sounds like worst case scenario you’d expect about a £65-80 GBP difference if using that logic.
If that’s ok with you, get them to go ahead and start the reissuing process. And if you don’t hear, chase them. Unfortunately not all agents are that familiar with these tickets. I’ve had to talk a few through them and the processes etc.
Generally the tax is based on ITA matrix calculation (which should be close enough to what you will be quoted). Therefore, in some cases (e.g. QR) where cash YQ is much more expensive than simple Avios YQ, you could be charged a much higher YQ instead. Other charges should be more or less the same but expect some minor differences.
