Ithink thats correct.
What I'd like to do is cancel the first leg of my RT and forefeit the $45 I paid for it, then book a one way the day before for $60 while still keeping the return leg of the original trip.
So if I can just forfeit the first leg and rebook the day before for the new rate I will lose the $45 I paid for the first leg.
I think you can do that. Cancel the first leg then allow the "credit" to expire in 90 days.
If I change my flight to the day before, I have to pay the $99 change fee plus the $15 difference in the flight, so that will cost me $114 ($54 more than just forfeiting and rebooking).
I think that's right too.
I think if you change the existing reservation you will pay the change, but if you cancel the outbound leg and book a seperate one way reservation according to my understanding you will have a $45 credit which will cost you $99 to use, and will expire in 90 days. But I've never tried it. It seems you should be able to do it on the website and it should tell you what the charges will be before you finalize you cancellation.
If you do it let us know what happens.
