Changing reservations on ticket booked through agent
Generally I prefer to book my tickets direct with the relevant airline but, unusually, Expedia have a better deal on a BA flexible ticket than BA are offering themselves. If I book a BA E-Ticket on Expedia, do I have to make reservation changes through them or can I change the reservation direct with BA ?
I had assumed the latter, but Expedia suggested the former. I am sure that there is a wealth of practical experience out there.

Previous posts indicate that BA is cracking down on making amendments to TA bookings, but I had no problems at all when I phoned BA last month to amend my return trip from Milan (was extending a stay on to the weekend, so didn't really want to do it via the company TA...).
There was no charge for doing this.

FWIW, I've found both Expedia and Opodo excellent for changing tickets bought through them. Their call centres are well-staffed, and there's never been any errors when I've done this.
