Does anyone know if this also applies to refundable tickets (I would doubt it)?
2. If you do this often enough, the CoC does have a clause in which CO threatens to cancel your OP account, although I am not sure if this has ever actually happened.
For #1: I am only going to skip the last segment, so there will not be any residual value regardless because I consider it a "throw-away" segment anyway. Since it's OW, there is no return for CO to cancel.
For #2: That's actually what I am more curious about. I have never done it before and I don't plan on making a habit of it. I am only considering it because that would make the fare more palatable (not cheap by any means!) as opposed to ridiculous.
