I'm un Ukraine and I've got a Lifemiles ticket for a flight on Turkish departing in about 3 hours from now..

Unfortunately I've come down with some kind of stomach flu or food poisoning and don't think I'll be able to fly.

From the Wiki:

"
  • NEW RULE - Ticket cannot be cancelled in the T-48 to T+24 window. Ticket can be cancelled after T+24 as long as ticket is valid, which is up to 365 days after issuance date (not travel date!)

Some agents have stated that the ticket can be cancelled even AFTER the flight dates, as long as the ticket is "open". Confirmed by FTers @ #334, 336, 371 and 445."

Does this mean I can just book a another ticket home for tomorrow, and then after I get come call Lifemiles and get the miles back with no fee?

That sounds too good to be true really. I'd be pleased though.
