There are no "mulligans" in fare rules in terms of retroactive pricing.
I see your point, however, most discounted RT fares are less than OW fares.@:-) For example, let's say you purchase a discounted Z RT fare. Since there is no one way Z fare available, the lowest OW may be C fare which is likely close to or even higher than Z RT fare. The difference is even more pronounced if you purchase RT S fare since OW Y fare is far higher.
What is the correct way to calculate partial refund for RT ticket which was flown OW?
