Flexible return date/change fees?
I am going on an extended trip to NZ but am really unsure of when I intend to return. However, booking the return trip is minimally more expensive than just buying a 1way (plus I think for visa I need to have the return flight booked/purchased).
The return is probably 4-6 months after my flight in. Any way to have flexibility built in? A quick search looks like change fees on AA are rather astronomical...
How do people normally handle this sort of a situation? Just pick a date and stick to it for better or worse?
