question about refund when not using return

i booked a roundtrip business class ticket on travelocity with travel on delta/virgin atlantic. i needed to change the return, however it made more sense to simply book a separate one way return a few days later. if i call delta and cancel my return after i've already taken the departure will i be entitled to any refund?

Not unless it was a fully refundable fare. Otherwise OW fares are generally, as, if not more expensive then a RT.

You could try calling Travelocity or the ticketing carrier. I'm not sure how the fare rules would work but they can let you know if the change fee and fare difference for converting your ticket from a r/t trip to the one-way is less than the return value on your original return (it may not be in which case, it would just be better to no-show) and if so, what you'd be entitled back to (and in what format).

Also, monitor the flight day of. If my understanding is correct - if it posts a significant delay or cancelation, you should be able to call and cancel for a "trip in vain" and I believe should then be entitled to a refund for the airfare represented by the return portion of the ticket.
