OR
I book two one ways (on two separate PNR/Record Locators): JFK-MAD-BCN /// BCN-MAD-JFK
So, regardless of how I structure the booking, I'd pay the same award cancellation fee of 100EUR (calculated as 25EUR for the outbound, 25EUR for the inbound, and then multiply that times two since it's two passengers)?
No, it's 25 euros per passenger. (for Blue and Business awards)
If you book a return on the same e-ticket for 2 people, you would only be liable for a 50 euro cancellation / change fee.
However, if you have any temptation to change dates, destinations, etc. you should book one-ways nonetheless. It will be far easier to deal with IB if needed.
