Making date change to business class RTW ticket prior to travel.
I cannot find the answer using a search, probably because RTW is too small and is always excluded from my search terms.
I have a business class RTW ticket starting May 14 from KEF. The itinerary is something like KEF-OSL-MAD-IST-BKK-SYD-AKL-RAR-LAX-PHL-OSL-KEF. I think there is another flight or two that I'm forgetting, but that's the basic trip.
So, can I change the date of the SYD-AKL flight (or any flight after the first intercontinental one) prior to flying the first intercontinental segment without paying a fee? I found D class availability on a flight I want, but when I email SAS (the ticketing airline) I just get a reply stating that the requested flight is not available.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.
It looks like this change should be allowed as it's to a flight after the first intercontinental leg. However, we've been given the run around by SAS (ticketing airline). The segment is on NZ. Can NZ make the change or do we need to go through SAS?
