Have I a hope of getting any of it refunded?
for both our sakes I hope I am wrong but I understood that you cannot cancel an Avios booking after you have flown the first sector. You lose everything!

This is based on this story on HfP and after reading this I have been booking 2x one ways when not using a 241 voucher. Can you cancel the return leg of an Avios flight?
