Shareholder discount and MMB changes ?

I can't remember ever booking a shareholder discount flight and then needing to change it in MMB. Is this a problem or can the system cope ?

MMB processes changes to SH bookings quite happily in my experience. I should add that my changes were to equal fare buckets so I don't know if the discount applies when changing to more expensive fares.

Works happily with more and/or less expensive fare buckets in my experience. Taxes were also recalculated accordingly without issue.

There used to be a problem when changing a flight with a fully flexible ticket, it would sometimes ask you to pay extra...basically the value of the SH discount. This seems to have been corrected for some time now.

Does the shareholder discount apply to base fare or taxes +fees as well?

Thanks

Oh come on! Taxes are a Government charge and are therefore not available to discount. HMRC will expect BA to cough up the requisite amount per PAX per Class.

Sadly Gordon B isn't that generous, as we all know. Base fare only.
