Im having trouble understanding the rules. Does that mean changing the return flight will be Eur 90 or free? Cause 4. 1/ states free of charge... Im assuming in case of class change, Ill simply pay the difference or is it the difference + 90?

Flight is in Asiana OZ 542 and 541 in return.

Also is this kind of thing always the same for the same airline or does it depend on the ticket? Because if it is the same, then I have changed the date on that same flight before for free but I wasnt sure since this time it's a cheap ticket from a travel agent.

    Perhaps you may want to add the Airline? Looks like Lufthansa, but I'm not sure.

    The rules vary depending on the fare, so even though you were able to do it for free previously, the rules may be different this time. Have you checked if you can change the flight online directly (in the « manage my booking » section of the airline’s website)?

  • If you booked through a travel agent, have you contacted them to ask about fees?

The fare rules you've listed allow you to change the date of the return flight only (NOT the outbound flight which is the "1st Flight Coupon") for free, but only if the new flight you are changing to meets certain conditions (same "Routing/Carrier/fare Amount/fare basis/stopover Condition")

If you are simple looking to change to the same flight on a different day, then the most limiting of these will likely be the "fare basis" and "fare Amount". Basically this means that if your original ticket for that leg costs €100, then there has to be a €100 fare available for the new date in order for the change to be free. As airline fares frequently change over time, it's very possible that the €100 fares will no longer be available, and the new price will be €150 - at which point you will need to pay both the additional €50 fare, PLUS the €90 change/reissue fee.

(The "fare basis" restriction actually means it's possible you'd be charged the fee even if the actual flight price was the same but the availability in the fare bucket you booked was sold out - but that's unlikely, and rather confusing, be best to just ignore it)

The exact fare conditions, and related fees, will vary depending on the airline and the specific fare you purchased. eg, for a specific airline, a €80 ticket might not allow any changes at all, a €100 ticket might have the conditions above, and a €200 ticket might allow free changes.
