This was unexpected, I didnt give her both booking numbers, when I told her I have another booking for my wife that need to change as well, she said she have to re-do the same process. Sounded like she need high level authorization to make the changes. She said will call back in one hour. Didnt call back, it's fine because it should be after her working hours.

So, I am not sure if this is 50% done, or making it worst. Because my wife is now pressuring me to change hers.
Then I attempted the second call.
It was Fijian as well, I told her I want to speak to the first call rep, she couldnt identify her within the team. But she said she will handle my case. Unfortunately, the call was dropped.
I have to make the third call, answered by call rep in Manila, similarly she need to refer to "support". And the "support" was Manila based. She was kind enough to update every 5 minutes. Such as, we are pricing the ticket... there are errors.... both me and my support cant make changes... eventually after about 45 minutes, I gave up, and requested call back. Surprisingly, I received a call back, the call rep was kind enough to call to update, 10 minutes before she clock off. She told me, it is now confirmed there will be no charges, and her supervisor is going to make the date change manually, requested me to hang on, as it should be done any minutes now. Unfortunately, after 7-8 minutes, still not shown in system, I suggested her to clock off first. Then we follow up tomorrow, as I know in Manila, most of the call rep need to catch van/bus to commute back 2~3 hours. She gladly agreed, and gave me a 8 digits reference number for me to follow up, in case I got the different agent tomorrow.
About 10 minutes after we end the call, I received email from Qantas on ticket changes.

Finally, it's all done. Just sharing my experience, hope it can be useful data point.
