What are my best options for possibly getting the taxes and carrier charges refunded (I realize the Avios are lost)? 1) Call and cancel the return portion (and incur a service fee) or 2) just no-show the return flight? Thanks for any advice.
Why would you no-show? Maybe I do not understand your situation correctly, but I have gotten back all our Avios and the taxes we paid (minus $55 per ticket service fee) on Club World Avios tickets we canceled, whether with or without a 2-4-1. We also got the 2-4-1 voucher back, but it expired a few months later. I had to call BA to do this ( getting refunds rather than vouchers), but it was well worth the time spent on hold to get it all back. The taxes and fees on each CW ticket amounted to $600-$700 per ticket, so around $1100-$1200 per flight for the 2 tickets. And there were 4 flights we had to cancel over the past 2 years.
