RTW Ticket Changes
Changed my second flight today, going to get the hell out of Denver. Would have been nice to stayed for some snow – but would be better enjoyed with a friend I think.
Changing the ticket was a real pain this time – Air China could not help and bounced me around the world for a while. But I learnt the easiest way to work it:
- Ring the Carrier who the flight is with
- Wait until the flight you want to change is your next flight, it just makes it all easier when they bring it up on the system
Given this, to anyone booking a RTW ticket, and planning to do date changes, I would highly recommend booking things for dates too far in the future than the other way round – because then you can at least bring them forward one by one as you need them, rather than doing a massive juggle which I am VERY thankful I have not had to do. And maybe it is easier not booking 16 flights either…
I was very careful to do just that, but it’s still a pain to change the ticket sometimes, which you travel guys don’t always mention :P
anyway I think you were just trying to get a link – so I removed your link. sorry!
Air Canada was easy both times. Air China was easy too. Just United with a few issues, but nothing major.
Good luck on your RTW trip! I would say that when you book your round the world ticket make sure you find out how much it costs to change dates. Some airlines charge nothing, some charge up to a few hundred dollars US to make any changes.
