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:

The decent thing is to tell CX you would not fly. There are very few flights these days, and the everchanging circumstances mean that the airlines don't have as good of a way predicting how many no-shows there will be than pre-COVID-19. Your ticket allows changes with a fee. The fee will only be collected when you book the new flight. You can always just call and cancel the inbound flight after the outbound flight and tell CX once you have the new date in mind you will call back and rebook. In fact, you do have the flexibility of using the return ticket coupon if some time in the future you think it would make more sense.
