And what happens if you are halfway through the trip, at the connecting airport and the next flight is canceled due to severe weather? You are just out of luck at that point if you cancel, will lose all miles?
-You can ask for reprotection.
-You can cancel and get full refund of copayment and reinstate of your miles.
(This would happen with a revenue ticket as well, not only with an award flight)
-If you are in a connecting point, that would be trickier. But definitely you can ask for reprotection.
