Ticketing Help

[GBK06]

Hi all,
Firstly I would like to say thanks to all of you! I have benefited greatly from all the posts on this site.

I have a problem that I would like a more experienced opinion on and thought this would be the ideal place.

My problem is that I have booked a flight with Thai Airways MEL-BKK-PEK-HKG-BKK-MEL but can’t actually complete the first two sectors MEL-BKK-PEK as I have an exam which I forgot about in early November. My travel agent has suggested I push back those two sectors a few days and pay a rebooking fee or something along those lines. However that option would involve me missing some internal Chinese flights.

I have managed to book a flight on Qantas to SIN then Singapore air to PEK for points in business class and first class respectively (which i’m very excited about) which would allow me to get to PEK on time. My travel agent has advised that she would need to re-issue the remaining tickets as one way flights to avoid the booking being cancelled at significant cost.

Is there any options I should look at or just stump up the fees to re-issue the ticket any Idea’s would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to AFF, GBK06.

My travel agent has advised that she would need to re-issue the remaining tickets as one way flights to avoid the booking being cancelled at significant cost.

I believe your Travel Agent is correct in this case. You don't have much choice and its likely to be more expensive for the one-way flights than your original return fare.
