often done - never any problem.
from the early days of FlyerTalk, here one of the guerilla-tips of a very good friend of mine:
1) I book (deep discounted, non refundable, non-changeable) roundtrip
2) after arrival I go to the ticketcounter of that airline telling them that unfortunatly I have to change my return-flight
3) the airline will say: sorry, not changeable
4) Then I very politly ask them to cancel my return-flght as I don't want to create trouble to the airline to be a 'no-show', and ask also: how much they will kindly refund me for not taking the return-trip
5) They will politly tell me, that unfortunately they can't refund anything
6) I then will ask them to kindly, at least, credit me the miles for that already paid return-flight, which they will also politly refuse to do
7) they will feel very sorry for my situation, and I will say good-by with tears in my eyes ...
