I'm aware that skipping your first flight will theoretically result in cancellation of any other outgoing and returning segments but is there any harm in just not showing up for my return flight? I can hop a US flight for $300 departing on Monday night (my company will pick up the tab).

What I'm concerned about is I probably will need to split the PNR prior (another colleague is flying with me) and will that raise a red flag? Finally, would I be eligible for some sort of credit if I miss the return - not totally important just curious.


Thanks!
