Changing a QF booking made with AA miles

[Nizar]

Is this possible ?
I have a booking for two pax on QF F DXB-SYD arriving at 0630 and then immediately onwards to MEL at 0830 arriving at 1005 but now I'm thinking I'd rather spend the day in Sydney and get like a 5 or 6pm flight. There were dozens of options when I first booked the flight last month but I chose the immediate connection though now we have changed our mind.

How would we go about changing this booking ?
Would there be any additional charges, like a change fee, etc ?
Any chance I could lose the F leg if i change the SYD-MEL flight ?

Would appreciate any advice from those who have done this or something similar before.

Many thanks.

Just call AA and tell them you want to change to a later SYD-MEL flight. You will only have to pay difference in taxes if indeed there is any.

Plus a US$80 (?) per pax telephone booking fee ?

Also, would it be possible to use the chauffeur drive in SYD instead of in MEL ?

how long it your transit?

Initially just 90 minutes but I want to change it so I fly the SYD-MEL leg at say 5 or 6pm which would mean an 11 or 12 hour transit (I arrive from DXB at 6:30am).
We can easily get someone to pick us up in MEL so would prefer the chauffeur drive in Sydney if possible.

I doubt it, my understanding is that the CD service is for the start and end of the journey... not so much a "Dubai Connect" style offering for longer connections.
You can always ring up and ask - the worst they can say is no.

I have booked QF CBR-xSYD-DXB with a 3h transit and a midday CBR-SYD flight. Afterwards I realised I might rather spend some more time at the Flounge than at home and changed it to a 6.10h transit. Afterwards the option for chauffeur drive appeared at the start & end of EACH leg (similar to 6h being the minimum time for Dubai connect). Not sure whether its a bug or a feature though.
