Free Airline Change or Ticket Re-Issue?
Hi all,
Just want to check if the following is a free or reissue change (I think it is a intermediate point reissue change but want to check with the experts to be sure).
Part of a DGLOB34 flight from NRT to AKL via transfer SYD (NRT-SYDx-AKL) changing to NRT to AKL via transfer HKG (NRT-HKGx-AKL).
Would like to change to the latter as timing better for my onward flight from AKL but I suspect that even if I am only transferring in SYD or HKG to reach AKL this will be considered a route change and a ticket reissue?
Thanks,
J

Yes - it is certainly a re-route, and so you will be up for the USD125 change fee, plus taxes will be recomputed
In addition, the DGLOB34 is a mileage based ticket; the new route is longer than the original. If it pushes you over the 34,000 maximum mileage for the whole ticket, then the change request should be refused

My E-tickets have been Reissued Without Request
Hi,
I just noticed that my E tickets numbers for my upcoming RTW have been reissued (changed) on the 1st May. I haven't made any changes or requests.
Anyone else's e-ticket numbers have been changed?
Also means I now cannot get into some airlines 'manage my bookings' to change my seats.
I wonder as it has been changed on the 1st May it has something to do with the new carriers joining Oneworld?
Thanks,
J
