Changing return origin but keeping same long-haul flight?
Has anyone had experience asking Lufthansa to change the origin of a return trip while keeping the existing long-haul flight?
I currently have a return itinerary:
CMN → FRA → SFO
My plans have changed and I'll already be in Europe, so I'd like to ask Lufthansa to change it to:
FRA → SFO
I know I can't simply skip CMN → FRA, so I'd be asking Lufthansa to officially change/reissue the ticket with FRA as the new origin.
Has anyone done something similar with Lufthansa? If so, did they allow it, and were you charged a fare difference/change fee?
For context, current SFO–FRA round-trip fares for roughly my travel period are actually lower than what I originally paid, although I realize that doesn't necessarily mean the reissued fare would price the same way.
Mostly looking for real-world experiences before I call. Thanks!
