cavanami Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was looking to change my ticket, the return part, and United wanted $1900 to change it one day later...WTF...as much as I paid for the RT ticket!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the info, I thought as much. I intend to take off tomorrow night for LOS for some R&R, but was uncertain how long I really want to go for, 21 or 28 days, I get sick of forking out another $100 to Singapore Airlines just because I change my mind. Seems I only get stung for that in LOS, never anywhere else Isn't a roundtrip tix much cheaper than 2 one-way tixs? Looks like you'll be paying a lot more than a $100 change fee.

Redbaron Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I thought most airlines let you change your return flight without charge? Guess it depends on fare basis and airline. Definately... Changed my Thai Air return leg over half the time. Never paid anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH Never been charge by Singapore Airlines in Oz, but they do say you can change it, subject to seat availability, before your flight leaves ... in LOS they interpret this as "a change before your first leg only (its BNE-SIN-BKK), thus, mid way through incurs a fee ... of course Singapore Airlines in Oz say it's bullshit but what can you do, TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyinEwa/Perv Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Exactly my point. I've got on the conservative side, 3 times as many trips as that in the last 15 years and I've also never been asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coops Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Only ever asked at check-in - in Australia, and never anywhere else. The couple of hundred US$ in cash and my Visa card seemed to reassure them and let me check-in. Did keep a word doc of an Air Asia flight handy just in case I needed to make one up in future - but nowadays, this is even more absurd since it's pretty much all e-tickets (perhaps the Aussie check-in people now ask to see your confirmed eticket email??? what a joke....).
