Forfeiting first leg of multi city itinerary

[wozup12]

Hi everyone,

I recently booked a multi city flight with Qantas as follows:
CHC-SYD Departing early March in economy B class
SYD-LAX Departing late April in premium economy Y class

I now no longer need the CHC-SYD leg of the multi city itinerary (as I am in Sydney and only booked the leg as it was significantly cheaper leaving from CHC) and have since called Qantas to remove the leg of the booking. The agent advised me that they were unable to reissue the ticket by cancelling the leg as it would force a significant reprice and advised that the could 'forfeit' the leg and keep the SYD-LAX flight in tact.

The CHC-LAX flight now no longer show up in manage my booking, but my e-ticket still shows both legs as confirmed. Having read some threads on here, I am worried that by not taking the CHC-SYD leg that my second flight will be cancelled due to coupons and flight sequences. So I thought I would check here to make sure that what the agent has done is correct and I will be able to fly my SYD-LAX flight without issue?

Ignore MMB. You need an updated e-ticket or you will be a no-show for CHC-SYD, therefore invalidating the rest of the itinerary.

The re-issue of the e-ticket needs to be closely monitored.

Can't cancel one sector out of a multi sector itinerary on a single ticket. . Usually that requires a change fee and repricing of the sector.

The fare buckets B, Y are also irrelevant

If you are a no show, they will likely cancel the next sector at least.
