Changing outgoing date on reward flight?
I have a long haul biz reward flight middle of 2009, for self and partner. There is availability showing on ANA for same outgoing flight a day earlier. If ICC can see the availablity and I move the booking to day earlier, what will I have to pay? :confused:
Thanks. |

Reminder: Always book 2 oneway flights instead of one return !

Are taxes and charges likely to be higher than when I booked around Oct/Nov 2008?
It is booked as one ways, will that help? Will I have to cancel existing outgoing flight and rebook (I do have enough miles if required)? Thanks. |

You lose any flexibility in your trip after you take your first flight in your itinerary. If booked as 2 one ways, you retain your flexibility to make changes to your return..
Also, one stopover is allowed on each itinerary, one on a return booking, and one on each of your 2 one way bookings. Return booking your charged for the highesst level of service you received, even if one of your long hauls is in Y. One ways, your charged for your longest sector. Disadvantages: Two £25 canx fees if you want to cancel your whole trip. Certain countries taxes are very expensive in comparison to return bookings - I'm not sure which these are, possibly India? |
Because once you've flown the first leg of an itinerary, it's fixed and you cannot make any further changes. If you have booked 2 one ways, and your plans change, you can change your return booking for the usual change fee.
For example, my holiday was booked as 2 one-ways. The return BKK-FRA was canx by TG and we were inconveniently rebooked by the call centre to a later flight. Whilst we were away, seats became available on a suitable flight and we were able to change. Had we booked the whole itinerary as a single return, we would not have been able to make any changes. |

No, not always. It depends on your origin and the taxes involved in having a one way ticket issued. Mexico and Argentina for example.

... and to give an example:
On a one-way First-class flight originating in India, the tax comes to over £350! Click: here |
