For my ex-CAI RTW ticket, I have one of the following segments:
Originally, it's YYZ-HKG arrives at 5:00am and then connecting HKG-BKK departures at 8;00am, all by CX
Now, I want to change the HKG-BKK flight to a later one on the same day, say departure at 13:00pm.
My question is :
1. Will this change be deemed as a "ticketed point" change or not? If not, then I would assume there should be no $125 change fee.
No. The time between flights is still 24hr or less, so it is still a transit.
So the $125 should not be imposed
Assuming you are not flying in Economy, then push back if Qantas tries to impose a service fee - somewhere on its web site it states that date/time changes are free for business and first passengers
2. Would it be easier to call QF to make the change after my first segment is flown, rather than calling them now?
If you have sufficient time between your first flight and the YYZ-xHKG-BKK flights, then delaying the change request to after the first flight will remove the possibility of Qantas attempting to reprice the ticket
