Default air ticket change - UK to KSA

Is it possible to change (with minimal personal cost) a KLM air ticket to a Lufthansa ticket?
I know this was possible decades ago. Just wondering about trying it nowadays.

Doubt it, they're different companies. KLM to Air France maybe. Ring them up. KLM are usually quite reasonable so they may have a solution for you.

Out of interest why are you looking to change from one courier to the other? Same departure and destination location? If so whats the point?

Can I ask why? Is it for entry on a work visa?

Be aware that some airlines don't always land in Dammam. They land in Bahrain anyway and then bus Dammam passengers across the causeway. They ticket these passengers to Dammam though so it looks like you're landing there.

I just prefer to avoid Bahrain - takes time & cost to go across causeway.

Well it will cost you to change and, funnily enough, over lunch there we were just chatting in the office about how horrendously long it can take to get through immigration in Dammam. Someone actually said it was quicker to land in Bahrain and drive over than to wait in that immigration queue.

But hey...
