To be honest... I've seen sales on Condor in the past and it was in the back of my head... Try Google Flights sometimes things will show up... also be aware of "sales trends" LOT Charter flights are available from DPS, SGN at different points in the year (at one point a flight was available SGN-WAW for under 200 Eur one-way in Business. No miles on that flight but still a good deal... another trend are the charter type airlines... GOA-LGW was available for under 50 USD oneway in Coach earlier this month... search and share

If you want to change the 1st coupon, Tkt will have to be repriced using fares in effect today (since Tkt will have to be reissued).
So if you wanna change the date for ICN, you will need to leave the 1st flight untouched (WAW-SVO) and can freely change the SVO-ICN portion provided there is availability in the fare bucket (Z in your case). You will still need to fly the first segment of course - so unless you want to have a longer stay in Moscow (up to 175 days for Z if i'm not mistaken), you'll need to use the WAW-SVO for some kind of a round trip.
Personally, if I need to change the date of my ICN travel, I will
- Request a change for the 2nd segment (reprice using historical fares, all good)
- book a roundtrip SVO-WAW-SVO to connect to 1st coupon + the new ICN flight.
Reasonably easy I'd say
At least thats my understanding - somebody please correct me if thats not accurate.
Best,

Basically: As long as you dont want to change the WAW-SVO portion of the flight, theres no reprice.

If you make the change to only the second segment, but prior to flying the first segment, the entire thing will be repriced to current fares.
In any case, SU is not an airline I would look to, to make good on any sort of fare rules. Much more like the interpretation of the agent you're dealing with.
If this would have been bookable on DL stock, I would have bought more than 1 because DL actually honors fare rules that benefit the customer. I'm not certain what SU does but in my experience they aren't very customer friendly.

Not exactly. The historical fares are used only when they can't reprice the entire thing - so you have to actually fly the first segment, then once that's flown, historical fares are locked in, and basically you can make the changes you request once the first segment is consumed.
Anyhow, lets hold thumbs it sticks.

My fear with attempting any changes is that instead of repricing according to historical data, someone would see that the fare was somehow filed wrong. Or are we saying, looking at the fares a few posts up, that this was a super special offer as opposed to a mistake with a missing digit? Whichever, the thing that made me hesitate (and therefore miss the offer) was the thought of dealing with SU. I would have extended the ticket to Jeju for EUR537 AI. Also, I’ve massively overspent on travel this year, not to mention Jeju have a strictly Economy only policy (for those of us working at the festival).

Anyone have problems adding their non-Aeroflot frequent flyer number? I booked through Orbitz with my Delta Skymiles number attached but then on Aeroflot's website, it was showing Aeroflot Basic together with my Delta Skymiles number and nowhere did it mention "Delta."
