Was planning on 1-2 nights, originally was going to spend it on Praslin but Steelsnow made La Digue sound more peaceful. Have a recommendation either way?

La Digue is certainly peaceful in that there are only a few autos. I don't know, I just found the amazing beaches a bit more crowded after nearly private ones on Mahe and Praslin. I guess it depends what you want to do....

You can eventually change second leg when flying the first. Eventually.

The rest is impossible, no chance.

If you change the first segment its a reprice to the current fare. No way around it.

Does you first segment start off at PRI? If so then yes you should be able to land in SEZ and then approach the operating carrier of your next segment to do a date change as they will then be in control of the ticket and no reprice is required. ^

They normally have tons of cars just waiting. Are you sure it wasn't due to the fact that you were on a HM ticket?

To clarify, it wasn't because of the HM ticket, it was because I didn't call ahead on the HM ticket. They have to do some sort of debit or request process for HM tickets, and that has to be done 24 hours ahead of time. I ended up in the Mrs. largeeyes doghouse, but have now arranged for back to AUH tomorrow and in Dublin.

Ouch. I too had an HM ticket, and though the ladies at the desk briefly huddled, they put me through. It may have been that I was the first or second through on this fare, and they didn't know what else to do with me (?)

Just arrived at hotel in Dublin. Now I am quite irritated that this rude woman cost me about 65 euros to get a taxi......
