If there is then you get 100% back.
I have 3x one-way tickets ATL-LAX in two weeks. Fares were $150 with taxes. Now my wife and son are not going, so I split myself out to a new PNR and upgraded. Not sure what I am rooting for - a smooth on-time travel experience or a long delay so I can get some money back!
