Outbound Flight

Posted on February 19, 2010.
Outbound FlightDid you take a flight to validate the return flight?

I mean, if I need to change a flight out, and because it is a non-refundable low price I need to book another, will my existing return fare is still valid, or the airline will assume because I've never had the original flight I did not need to return .... Thank you!

Now, it makes me angry at the airlines. If you do not take the outer part of a return ticket, their computer automatically cancels your hand back. I even had trouble when the company has baffled me initially and I found the return portion "canceled." If this ever happens keep all boarding passes and documentation to power your fight. Last year, I had to book 2 separate tickets, one to go to London and another to get to Bucharest. My first airline let me down and I didn't make London, but I did instead of Madrid and when I spoke to the second airline to Bucharest, they could not change my original ticket but I sold a couple of new single tickets from Madrid to Bucharest that I could confirm the Bucharest back in London when I arrived in Bucharest. When we arrived, the airline refused to honor the return portion of my original ticket because of no-shows abroad and urged to sell me another pair of single tickets for exactly the same my flight ticket home. By law, you must repay at least the taxes on airline tickets used, but they have more pups than in seeking reimbursement of those fees they charge a commission which is more than admininstration taxes themselves. So basically, all these non-refundable airline tickets are raking in extra profits for businesses, unless your travel insurance covers you - depends on why you need to change your outbound flight - then your rate at a low price far ends cheap. Of course, with some airlines, you can buy flexible tickets, but on balance for frequent travelers, it is cheaper in the long term to buy the cheapest tickets and incurring losses if and when this happens.

Ask the company directly, but in almost all cases, they cancel the return flight if you do not show up for your return flight.

Check with the airline ....... better to say that you need them to change flights than risk the cancellation at a time!

I think it would still be valid .... but I phone the airline has been on the right side ... I No, not like to see you stranded.

Yes Yes Yes you do ... my mother would do, thank you God, she did not if you do not "on board the plane on takeoff, they cancel the whole ticket.

The above is correct. The logic is that if you do not take your FLT abroad. computers will cancel FLT return. in order to free the seat for someone else.

Well. Since nobody has said the right answer, I will throw in, again! You only need your booking and referance your passport (and other essential products like you). Reservations must be placed on the system. The only exception would be if you checked online and you print a boarding pass. You need it!

Hope this helps!

If you do not fly abroad - it is considered a no-show in most cases. So, your return will be canceled.
You can call the airline and see if they can make
adjustments. I have had experiences in the past to appeal
customer service and they tend to help sometimes if
your reason is quite authentic:)
Otherwise, you can save the fare for future travel and see
if they can waive the cancellation fee.
