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…
