You might want to check price of another r.t. and just not do the return (if it's significantly cheaper).
Ah that makes sense - they were trying to reprice the r/t as two o/w and quoting me the huge difference ...
I suppose they were generous enough to extend the expiration date of the ticket but not generous enough to extend the one year fare to two years.

Partially used tickets are a corner case that is always somewhat problematic.
Thanks. I had a bunch of partially used RTWs (for which the extension beyond one year was not possible because other carriers were involved) where they refunded me the unused segments on a pro-rata basis (instead of calculating all the used segments using o/w fares). So maybe they will do this for these tickets too?
