Refundable tickets are not for Budget Travelers, as they often cost 5X more that cheapest tickets, often costing MORE than Business Class or domestic First Class.

One way tickets were more expensive, but today normally only for International travel. With LCCs, domestic one way tickets normally cost half of round trip.
