Don’t do it online. Just call, tell them that you won’t be needing the flight, that your plans aren’t settled, and that you’d like to leave the credit on the ticket for future use. If necessary, you can mention that you have a family friend who’s sick and that you can’t travel to BDL right now. The $200 fee is charged when you reissue the ticket — that is, when you actually use the remaining credit for a new flight somewhere. There’s no fee charged to cancel.
In the worst case, if the agent starts talking about a fee, say you didn’t realize there was a charge and you’ll try to figure something out. But that would have to be a
very confused agent.
