Change after departure without repricing

How soon after the first flight can I make a change without having the ticket repriced?

I got in on the JNB-BCN fare and could only get a quick turnaround at the time, there is more availability now so I want to make a change to the return. How soon can I do this? I don’t suppose I could make the change after check in before take off?

You need have flown at least the first sector of the itinerary to make any changes at historical pricing.

For example, if you were to fly AMS-LHR-LAX, you could make changes to your LHR-LAX as soon as you step off your AMS-LHR flight.

Just so you know, the ticket is still repriced, but using historical fares (the price the new itinerary was sold at when you purchased your ticket) were as if you do it prior to any segment being used its repriced using current selling price, which is usually significantly more.

presumably, depending on fare rules, they would also charge the change fee, no?

But the point is if there’s availability in the same class (assume A in this case) and the new date otherwise meets the restrictions of the fare, no reprice should be necessary - only the change fee if any would be applied.
