Even if making changes to both an outbound and return on a roundtrip, you’d only pay 1 fee if making them at the same time since they can make both changes and then reissue just once.
even using cash tickets both ways, assuming the one-way fare is half the round trip, booking into Canada on 2 one ways actually saves usually - I’ve found as much as $50/person on my typical trips. It’s taxes, mostly, I think - HST is collected only on the ex-Canada direction for a one-way, but collected on the full amount of booking a round trip.
I have some doubt on your reasoning. After all these are two separate tickets (different PNR), and it is no different than changing two separate, round-trip tickets. Are you saying that it is possible to change two different tickets at once by paying only one change fee?
