I have noticed that the copayment for award flights is more expensive if booked as two one ways than of booked return on the one ticket. As an example a quick search of BNE-LAX gives AUD427.96 in Y booked as a return while booked as two one ways I get AUD248.83 + USD383.89 which works or around AUD300 more.
My question is if I have two one ways can I call up and combine them into one booki and recalculate the copayment to the lower amount?
My specific situation is a series of booking made by a WP relative for myself and my wife. We have ended up with 3 seperate award bookings:
- Me MEL-LAX in F
- Wife BNE-SYD-LAX-JFK in mix of J/F
- Both of us LAX-BNE in Y
Credit card not fully processed yet but looks like it had been charged around $2100.
Can I ring and ask them to change this into two bookings as follows:
- Me MEL-LAX & LAX-BNE
- Wife BNE-JFK & LAX-BNE
And if so will they recalculate the copayment? I'm quite sure if it had have been booked this way originally it would have been significantly less $$.
