I was wondering if you experts might have an idea on the best way to change the final destination or, essentially, add an extra segment on a Biz (I) class ticket.

My current itinerary is as follows:

ARN-LHR
LHR-HKG

but my desired itinerary is as follows:

ARN-LHR
LHR-HKG
(Stopover)
HKG-ICN

(If I were to ticket anew, this second itinerary is only marginally more expensive than the first itinerary)

The rebooking fee is 1500 SEK (~170USD). The cancellation fee is 3000 SEK (~340USD).

A new one way BIZ ticket from HKG TO ICN is >500 USD.

But as I understand it, re-booking allows for only date/time changes. Thus, it seems that I have only two options:

(i) Cancel by paying ~340 USD. And re-ticket the second itinerary.

(ii) Buy an independent ticket for >500 USD.

Am I missing a third option?

Have you considered using Avios to get the HKG-ICN ticket? Might be less out of pocket that way.

That is a good suggestion but, unfortunately, there is limited redemption availiabilty on Asiamiles.

have you tried asking your agent/CX ticketing re your upsell options?

i have been quoted some minimal fares for rerouting before...

It's worth asking CX the options, as sometimes the fees aren't very much, but it depends on the booking class and the actual rules that apply (different point of origins have different rules).

My only experience was that I wanted to re-route my final stop from TPE to KHH instead - they wanted to reticket at a crazy cost so I took the THSR instead.
