Changing domestic flight connection
Hey,
I've seen it mentioned on here that the domestic connections to international flights are booked as the equivalent of flexichange flights - i.e. can change to earlier/later flights.
Assuming so, is this something that the call centre can change on the day, or have to ask at the airport?
Partner booked TT through corporate portal which only allowed selection of flights with shortest connection, and wondering if it can be changed to an earlier flight.

They're changeable on the day at the airport. I don't know if you'll have any luck calling on the day and changing without paying (at minimum) a service fee.
They are not actually promoted or advertised as flexi fares - but making them flexi allows check-in staff to easily change these flights in case of a disrupt.

Cheers all for the input,
I imagine calling / WhatsApp in advance and hoping for a fee waiver wouldn't work due to it being a third party corporate booking.
Will give the call centre a try on the day and report back, else will ask again at the airport.
