Can I change just one leg of round-trip booking? Or do i have to cancel and rebook?

So I found out that when there is an infant in the booking, QF needs to issue the tickets manually.
I sent them a message through twitter and they issued within 2 hours

Thanks for the heads up! I just messaged them via FB and hopefully will have this resolved soon!

Not sure if you resolved this yet but i had the same issue. I booked an awards business ticket with an infant and downgraded to economy shortly after booking. They told me it would take between 24-48 hours for the booking to be ticketed. The ticket was still unticketed for over a week. I wasted a bunch of time on the phone with the agents who promised me this would be resolved as the end of each phone call. In the end, it still wasn't ticketed for almost 2 weeks and i asked them to just cancel the flight and i will rebook it myself (wish i thought of this earlier). Even once i cancelled, it took a few days for me to get my points back (I messaged them on facebook which seemed to get things moving)
Overall, i have never encountered or experienced issues like this with any airline. Will keep this in mind when booking Qantas in the future.

Cancelled a ticket online, messaged them on FB the next day to ask for them to refund the points and they were back in my account within 24 hrs.

Just an update - they replied to my FB message over Shabbos asking for passenger names, flight details, etc. I responded after Shabbos and still no response from them.

I tried calling the help center yesterday and they said it was never sent to ticketing (as we all know by now) but they were going to put it in the cue and it should be ticketed in 24-48 hours. 24 hours later and no ticket yet…..

Booked LY J with Qantas, ELAL changed the schedule to an hour earlier, would they be able to put me onto different flight with no award space? And is there any upside of clicking "confirm change" or rather not if my plans will change?
