Hi all
just wanted to pick the knowledge of some experienced CX members on here
I am looking at getting a one-way ticket from HND to HKG but I found that a RTN is $1000HKD cheaper (and forgoing the inbound leg).
as such, I found a dated article on here >
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...how-fee-2.html and wondered if the rules are still the same - that as long as you do the decent thing and tell CX you will not be flying the return you will not be charged in any way for not taking the flight?
The fare rules specifically state:
