I've just copped my first bad one with Qantas.
Was booked for a flight to North America leaving Melbourne at noon, meaning I was on the 8am out of Adelaide before that. No worries.
They then cancelled the noon flight, and bumped me onto the 9pm out of melbourne. Annoying, but cancellations happen, I get that.
So i ring up to get my 8am out of Adelaide changed to something more like mid-late afternoon given I'm now not leaving Melbourne until 9pm.
"Sorry sir, as your existing Adel-Melb leg still gets you into Melbourne in time to catch the new international flight, you cant change the adel-melb leg without paying a change fee, plus fare difference."
So now I'm stuck with either an 11 hour sit in Melbourne, or paying approx $640 to change the Adel-Melb leg.
W@nkers.
That's ******. I'd be ropeable.
Seems all the airlines are useless atm. Virgin tried to change our direct flights to and from Darwin in to midnight 12 hour tours in and out of Melbourne. Told 'em to shove it.
