However, US to Europe one-way fares are usually more than the cost of a round trip, so you then wouldn’t be eligible for any credits back. JFK-LHR as a oneway might be $1200 for example. If, however, AA has a significant schedule change/cancellation to your return flight that you don’t accept, then they are required to refund you the return portion, which then usually is appx 50% of the roundtrip fare.
Thanks. One-ways are, incredibly, more than double the price of a one-way, so I would, in fact, be looking at this exact scenario.
If a 7/31 SWU had cleared on the return and that segment now has $0 value, would the SWU also disappear, or would the SWU somehow remain intact? I guess it would be illogical to "change" or "use" a PNR with $0 value, but who knows. Thanks again.
