Correct.
Having said that CX just changed one for me last week (CX issued ticket) for free when I did change ticketed points, but I believe my taxes and fees actually went down in the change, so was probably a wash or nearly so. I changed from a CX transit in HKG to a MH / JL transit in KUL, from what I can see KUL has no passenger or facility charges for transit, while HKG has a fairly substantial one. I'm not sure about YR, but since it's a CX ticket I suspect I also saved a bit there changing from their codes to MH and JL.
That's great to know, thanks. I assume CX wouldn't reticket an AA ticketed xONEx even if it was governed by CX but the fact they did treat it as we expect is a good sign in terms of AA doign the same.
