Travel question (probably for ty97): I know airlines hate it when you book a round trip and then only use one leg...

Posted by Mop🧹 (aka rburriel) Jan 22 '24, 08:41

If I were to book a round trip and only use the "outbound" segment and then call to cancel the "return" segment, is that a no-no?

If it's not something you do commonly, it shouldn't be an issue as things do happen sometimes. However - ty97 Jan 22, 08:54 1
- True enough. Thanks! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 22, 08:55
why not just book the one-way then? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 08:52 3
- as with most things $$$ -- nm - JD Jan 22, 08:53 2
  - oh I get that, trust me, trying to figure out the flights for my north atlantic cruise in may was maddening. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 08:54 1
    - *In some cases*, a round-trip is cheaper than one-way. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 22, 08:54

- I don't want to be "the guy who doesn't show up for their appointed flight". Is canceling ahead of time more forgivable? -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 22, 08:47 2

  - I think anything you do with the airline will be subject to fees or fare changes. -- nm - oblique Jan 22, 08:53
