you are over-rationalizing the situation when this wasnt mentioned by him. so you’re off topic🤣🤣

from what I understand, if they reissue the ticket, they will recalculate the tax, so it wont work.

The fuel surcharge is already collected by CX for any itin starting outside HK so the upcoming change on Nov 1st does not apply in your case - you're already having to pay for yq today.

New fuel surcharge?

I'm holding a flight to Vancouver through my travel agent (I class). Being Diamond I can hold and ticket later, but my agent is saying if I ticket after 2 November there will be an additional fuel surcharge. Any info on that?

Here is their website about new fuel surcharges. Correct me if I am wrong- it appears all surcharges are the same before or after 02 Nov?

previous table: https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...-november.html

"no fuel surcharges apply for travel itineraries originating in hong kong sar." wording has been removed
so $652 for long haul (x2), $210 for japan (x2), $146 for other short haul (x2)
