However if you have a fully refundable fare (Business Class), you might be able to get some money back towards your other flight.
If you book a round trip, something I very seldom do, you are subject to having your return trip cancelled.
From the Contract of Carriage:
If a Passenger fails to occupy a confirmed seat on a flight and Carrier fails to receive notice of the cancellation of the reservation at least one hour prior to the flight’s scheduled departure time, Carrier may, in its sole discretion, cancel all reservations held by such Passenger on continuing or return flight segments. If a Passenger changes his itinerary, he should contact Carrier prior to the flight’s departure time to determine how changes may affect the Ticket.
