I've just copped my first bad one with Qantas.
Was booked for a flight to North America leaving Melbourne at noon, meaning I was on the 8am out of Adelaide before that. No worries.
They then cancelled the noon flight, and bumped me onto the 9pm out of melbourne. Annoying, but cancellations happen, I get that.
So i ring up to get my 8am out of Adelaide changed to something more like mid-late afternoon given I'm now not leaving Melbourne until 9pm.
"Sorry sir, as your existing Adel-Melb leg still gets you into Melbourne in time to catch the new international flight, you cant change the adel-melb leg without paying a change fee, plus fare difference."
So now I'm stuck with either an 11 hour sit in Melbourne, or paying approx $640 to change the Adel-Melb leg.
