Advice on dropping last segment of an xONEx
I know this must have been discussed a lot over the years, but despite lots of searching, I can't find any posts that talk about it (searching only turned up false positives, posts that don't actually contain the searched term).
If I want to drop the last segment of an xONEx without paying the re-route fee, what's the best way to do it? I could just no-show, but that just feels wrong. This would be a Comair flight with a BA code out of JNB.

Call and say you're cancelling for now, you'll rebook when ready, and ask them to put a miscellaneous segment in for a month past the final ticket validity date so that the PNR is still available when (if) you're ready to rebook.
If you don't rebook later on then it doesn't matter, but at least it'll be there if you need/want it.
