This is not correct, presuming that OP is on a non-refundable/changeable ticket. When OP cancels, the entire value of his ticket will be a credit. He will then need to pay $150 in new money in order to access the credit. Depending on the value of the original ticket and the cost of the new ticket, this may or may not make a difference.

Before going through all of this, it is worth pricing out a new OW LAX-SEA. Sometimes its worth just letting the original RT go.

But, just skipping the first segment is not an option.
