Strategy for Changing Airline Ticket Date

Hi folks,

Was hoping to partake of the forum's wisdom yet again.

I have my tickets to Munich and then on to Budapest in early July. Lufthansa business class.

My existing return is Budapest to Frankfurt to LAX on a Saturday on Lufthansa.

I'd like to keep the Budapest-Frankfurt flight on Saturday, but was invited to a concert in Baden Baden, and wondering the feasibility of changing the day of the return to Sunday (or even Monday) for the Frankfurt -- LAX flight.

I believe that because my Frankfurt stop is technically a connection, this may not be as simple as it should seem.

If I plug in my desired days and segments on Google flights, I get about the same rate as I paid for the original tickets.

Thanks for any tips or guidance you may be able to give me.

Exchange fees may be determined by the type of fare you paid and are probably stated somewhere on your paperwork. One-way trans-Atlantic flights can be notoriously expensive, so buying a new ticket is not a practical option.

Call and talk to a live operator. That is you only option. They will price it for you and then you decide if it is worth it. You might get a break since week day tickets can be cheaper.
