"free" changes
In people's experience, is it better to make the "free" changes (date/time/carrier) on oneworld products before or after departure?

Has the price changed? Otherwise, see:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onewo...route-fee.html Typically, I wait until I've done my first international segment. Seems to usually result in less questions, arguments, and explanations of rules. |

The only time cost comes into date/time/carrier changes is if you change the first international flight before departure or where the carrier may charge a service fee. (I've made changes to oneworld tickets before with QF, AA, BA, CX and JL. The only time I've ever been changed a service fee was by CX when I did a routing change a few weeks ago.) |

Price changed? No... There's the 125USD rerouting fee.

(I've made changes to oneworld tickets before with QF, AA, BA, CX and JL. The only time I've ever been changed a service fee was by CX when I did a routing change a few weeks ago.) (a) Rebooking/Rerouting (1) Prior to departure (a) Changes to date/time/oneworld carrier/inventory changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. If the first flight coupon is being changed, and the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply. Exception : For fares originating in TC1, changes to the first international flight and preceding flights are not permitted less than seven days prior to the date of the first ticketed flight. (b) Changes other than to Date/time/oneworld carrier/inventory permitted at a charge of USD125.00 per transaction. If the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will also be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply. (2) After Departure (a) Date/time/oneworld carrier/inventory changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. (b) Changes other than to Date/time/oneworld carrier/inventory permitted at a charge of USD125.00 per transaction. (c) No Show requires rebooking at a charge of USD125 (d) If the rerouting results in an increase to the number of continents or extra flight segments previously charged, the ticket shall be recalculated. Ticket may be reissued to any applicable Explorer fare validating all rules of the new fare except for restrictions on retroactive use. Rerouting fee applies when the resulting fare is less than or equal to the original fare. No refund applies. See Upgrading provisions when recalculation results in a new fare basis at a higher value. |

I am aware of that and the reason for my question. You didn't specify what segments you were changing.

I'm considering a date change on sector 6 of a DONE3 (RDU-ORD) which departs HND next Wednesday (16th).

Last week, I changed dates of remaining 14th and 15th segments of my DONE5 issued by CX.
CX office in TOKYO didn't charge. They charge handling fee if the ticket is not issued by CX. |
I had BA issued DONE4 and no problems changing any times/dates/carriers after first leg for at least CX, AA, BA, AY, QF. No charges. I called AA or BA to change the tickets.

In theory, any OW airline can change your ticket as per fare rules but most will just fob you off to the issuing airline.

Even oneworld.com is referring people back to the issuing airline when making changes before departure.
