Economy Classic Award - Change Fee for Return Flight?

[robd]

Jnr#2 wants to head back to AMS for approximately 6 months. I can get her a return flight using 140,000 QFF points plus ~ $480. Is it possible to change the return date once the outbound flight has been taken? Is there a change fee?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[TD="class: sideText, width: 580"]A Classic Flight Reward on Qantas and partner airlines can include:
- Qantas flights only
- Partner airline flights only, or
- A combination of Qantas and partner airline flights.
The Qantas Points required for a Classic Flight Reward on Qantas and partner airlines are calculated based on a one way Trip or a series of one way Trips using the Qantas Classic Flight Reward table, Jetstar Classic Flight Reward table and/or the Partner Classic Flight Reward table.
However, if your Classic Flight Reward includes travel on at least two oneworld® Alliance Airlines other than Qantas, and does not include travel on any airline that is not a oneworld® Alliance Airline, the points required will be calculated using the oneworld® Classic Flight Reward table, and will be based on a return itinerary.

Thanks for that. Probably best to book 2 one way fares.
