thanks!

For sure not something that can be counted on, but if there is any leniency, it's going to happen at the airport. If your friend goes, they should be prepared to either buy a new one way (very expensive) ticket, or wait for their scheduled flight. Add this to the list of reasons not to buy these fares.
