Tell me about it! This is another reason DY has worked so well. Since we haven't known our return date, I've been buying a full flex one-way CPH-US ticket on DY prior to leaving the US and then refunding it as soon as I arrive, waiting to purchase the return until we know when we are flying back (dual citizen husband doesn't need to do that).

I believe I posted a thread some months ago asking for advice about how to identify an appropriate fare class if I bought a round-trip ticket where I could change the return date (for a fee) after taking the outbound. I haven't figured out the best way to do this - a little nervous about misunderstanding a fare class and not being able to make a change (even with a fee) once the outbound has been flown, and then losing the entire cost of the return.

For comparison sake, I've been paying ca. $850 - $900 for a one-way premium economy flight on DY between either MCO or FLL and CPH. The least expensive alternative has been to purchase a non-refundable, non-changeable round-trip ticket on a legacy carrier with a connection for ca. $2,000. So to do this and throw away the return is more than double the cost of DY.

I will definitely continue to monitor fares on the legacies, particularly for our next flight which is likely to be in July. The input here has been useful and most appreciated.
