Avek I dont think they are binding the rules too much on this ticket as it always stated that changes were permissible with a $200 change fee which is what I will end up paying. Do you work for CO BTW?</font>
I don't work for CO
per se, but my title on the left-hand side will indicate which way my CO politics lean.
Honestly, I think your best bet is to eat the change fee and make every effort in the future to book all of your flights on ONE ticket. If you had booked IST-MUC-SFO as a single ticket (even with the different carriers), you would not have had this problem. You were placed in this situation because your flying is on two non-related tickets, so neither airline has any obligation to the other to make sure that you are in a position to travel on both tickets.
