My question: can I just rebook the BOG-MUC leg (given J availability) at a AV ticket desk once I get off the plane in BOG? Thinking of staying a week in Colombia.
I understand I can’t do this before having flown the first leg as this would trigger a repricing to the current fare, correct?
Trip is getting closer, anyone managed to do something similar (rebooking during transit) in BOG already?

I'm also curious about this. I had a bunch of schedule changes a while ago, choose different flights but not considering staying in Bogota longer than a few hours in the early morning.

I managed to pull the fare rules off of ExpertFlyer and it seems that unlimited stopovers are permitted in each direction for free. I hope I'm reading this right but I'm hoping to make use of this in autumn when I'm flying "back" to CUR.

I was due to fly on March 21st - due to the current situation I decided to cancel all plans and request a full refund for the ticket. Although it's sad but better than being stuck in Colombia and quarantained.

Plans would have fallen through anyways as Curacao just banned all flights from Europe for indefinite time. See https://gobiernu.cw/nieuw/detayenan-...-di-mart-2020/ in Papiamento or
VISITORS TO CURAÇAO:There is an air travel restriction for visitors on flights originating from Europe starting March 14th 2020.

I booked the fully refundable fare from the beginning so no problems there.

I had to cancel my trip because during the rush in booking, I had another travel planned which I could not move/postpone. Mine was flexfare - what I did basically was submit the request online and it was radio silence for nearly 2 months and suddenly I received a confirmation that the refund was approved and within 2 weeks the amount hit my CC. Calling the call centre is useless as they will ask you to request it via online.
All in all it was ok - except for the radio silence part - but don't worry if your fare is full flex, it will work out in the end, just be patience.

Cheers!

Curios if they'll wave the change fee/fare difference considering the situation. I'm flying beginning of May so still some time until then but if things don't change, won't be able to make my positioning flight.

Sure the change fee may/will be waived but the fare will be recalculated based on new availability (booking class available) and current fares. You are not going to like that…

This is how the airlines deal with the many waiver currently offered - they are not going to recalculate fares based on historical fares (unless travel has commenced) - forget it!

My flights (early april) finally got cancelled and i got the following email:

"Due to current restrictions by several governments, such as border closures and passenger mobility limitations, to contain the spread of COVID-19, your flight with reference code XXXXXX has been cancelled. Your ticket will remain valid until you have a new travel date or decide to make the change."

I guess since it's INVOL either a refund or change without fare difference would apply?

That's most likely the case. Did you manage to reach out to them and get rebooked or refunded? Curious how it went.

Obviously, a full refund is possible (maybe as a voucher by now) but whether you will be allowed to rebook without payment of fare difference is a very good question. I'm not entirely convinced that INVOL nature will make a difference. But I guess you will have to wait and see how AV will respond to your request for rebooking once you have the new dates set.

Just called them and rebooked to Sept without any fare difference. The agent mentioned any date until DEC31 would be fine. Also managed to keep the three day stopover in BOG from a previous schedule change and select seats (anyone ever managed to to that online with AV?!).

Rebooked as well to end of August for first leg then October for the rest. But a couple of days after got an email saying that due to Corona, BOG-MAD flight in October has been canceled. Will have to call again to get rebooked through a different transit airport.
