It's four fees, one per ticket. 4x$50 if you cancel at least 60 days prior to departure, and 4x$100 otherwise.

I read too fast. It's one fee for each ticket, regardless of how the PNRs are structured. I think that still means four fees, as the only way I think you can do 2 pax * 2 ways is a joint PNR outbound and split return. Thus each pax has two tickets.

If there is a significant schedule change, or IRROPS on the day of travel, you may be able to cancel without penalty. However, waiting past the 60-day mark doubles the fees and so I think it's a losing proposition.

Taxes are refunded.
