Changing dates of half-price award tickets
Has anyone had any luck yet in successfully changing the dates of redemption tickets bought within the half-price sakle window without stumping up the additional 50% miles? I'm specifically thinking of moving to dates AFTER the 355 days limit.

I've moved the return leg of my booking for an extra £1.20 in taxes

Ok let me be more specific with dates - might help explain a bit clearer.
I booked on 28th Nov 09 for a departure on 1st Nov 09 and a return on 17th Nov 09. Can I now move the outbound to about 23rd Nov 09 and inbound to about 7th Dec (when that gets to the 355 day availability later this week)?
Just trying to get a feel for the situation before I speak to a(n) (un)knowledgeable sales agent on the phone.

As I understood it, all travel on a reward ticket had to be made within 12 months as per EC T&C's. Going past 12 months would only be possible by cancelling the original ticket and issuing a new one which would be subject to 100% mileage not the 50% of the sale.

13.16. All Award travel must be completed within 12 months of the date of ticket issue.

Why would changing dates be a 're-booking'?

This is correct, and was reasonably well trailed in the original thread on the miles sale.

I assume all travel means inbound as well? Pity but them's the rules I suppose.

I had to change the outbound time of my domsetic leg for a booking in December and was charged £30 for this - is that right? There were no differences in fees and i was told this was a charge for the change (despite the fact i couldnt make the change online).

IME if you explain when you call that you cannot make the change online then there will be no fee.
