Changing airport for award booking free?
Hi,
afaik changes to award bookings should be free when made via MMB.
Is this also applicable in case of changing the departure airport of a flight getting me to lhr? I cant change that online as I made a stopover in the us which was only bookable via telephone, so future changes seem to be restricted to the call center as well.
Will this change be free?

Only date and time changes are free when done online as far as I know. So I would expect that you'll be charged when changing your departure airport even when in the same Zone. $70 I think.

The only time I recall doing this was changing an arrival airport from JNB to CPT when the latter opened up. As it couldn't be done online, they waived the telephone charge. This was 19 months ago so maybe the policy has changed.
If it's an F booking then I find the You First line to be significantly more helpful than any other.
