One-Way compared to Round Trip tickets
I'm tempted to purchase a round-trip ticket and not use the return ticket. This is to save almost $100. Anyone know of any repercussions/sanctions for doing this?
Suggestions??

Welcome, Betty!
You can do it but it's a violation of the rules. In practice, if you do it once you're extremely unlikely to get caught. People change travel plans all the time.
You might want to do a search on "throwaway ticketing" on this site for more opinions.

Some airlines (eg UA) don't prohibit it, so it probably makes sense to check with the particular airline.
