Help booking RT using GPU on outbound flight

I have a friend who has gifted me a GPU. I'm flying out of Beijing at the end of Feb and coming back this June. I might want to change the date I return in June.

I searched for a W fare for my dates. I was able to select an outbound flight as W and I selected the cheapest flight, a K, on the return. When I looked at the fare rules the first flight is W (WLX41EC3) but the return shows a dash ('-').

If I change by return flight what will I have to pay?

Since you were unable to get the fare rules, you will have to call to check -- however, it will likely be $300 but it could be different.

The most restrictive fare rule of any segment will apply to the entire ticket.

I booked W both ways and the fare rules and restrictions page only showed the fare rule for the outbound flight also.
