Well, I'd want my bags to come off in Madrid with me. But yeah, "technically" if you're supposed to be checking in at Menorca airport and you're waiting in Madrid for the plane, I can see how it doesn't work.

We called 5 or 6 times, with no luck. I really don't understand why they would care, after all, now they have an empty seat they could fill for more profit?

Especially in this case, you'd think they'd want to recoup a little!
I'm prepared to accept that they will probably charge us change fees... but hopefully not any potential fare increases as well. I can imagine it now... "Well, YYC to Madrid is $600US, but YYC to MAH is $96US, so you'll have to pay the extra $504". Ignoring the fact that we're flying THROUGH Madrid anyways!! Totally not logical on their part, but I can see them trying it nonetheless.
