Check with the airline directly but in almost all cases, they will cancel the return flight when you do not show up for your outbound flight.

Check with the airline…….better to tell than them you need to change flight than to risk them cancelling both!

If you don’t take outbound flight – it’s considered a no-show in most cases. So your return trip will be voided.
You may want to call the airline and see if they can make some
adjustments. I have had experiences in the past of calling
customer service and they tend to help sometimes if
your reason is genuine enough
Otherwise you can save the fare for a future trip and see
if they can waive the cancellation fees.

Yes Yes Yes you do… my mom was goign to do that, an thank god she didn’t cause if you dont’ board the plane on the take off they cancel the whole ticket.

The above is correct. The logic is that if you did not take your outbound flt. the computers will cancel your return flt. so as to free up that seat for someone else.

Now this one makes me angry at the airlines. If you dont take the outward part of a return ticket, their computer cancels your return part automatically. I have even had trouble when the airline has rerouted me outbound and I found the return part "cancelled". If that ever happens keep all boarding cards and documentation to fuel your fight. Just last year I had to book 2 separate tickets, one to get to London and another to get to Bucharest. My first airline let me down so I didnt make London but I made Madrid instead and when I spoke to the second airline for Bucharest, they could not change my original ticket but sold me a couple of new one way tickets from Madrid to Bucharest saying that I could reconfirm the return Bucharest to London when I arrived at Bucharest. When we got there, the airline refused to honour the return part of my original tickets because of the no show outbound and insisted to sell me another couple of one way tickets for exactly the same flight as my original ticket. In law they should refund you at least the taxes on an unused flight ticket but increasingly they put in the small print that to claim back those taxes they charge an admininstrative fee which is more than the taxes themselves. So basically all these non-refundable flight tickets are raking in extra profits for the airlines and unless your travel insurance will cover you – depends on why you need to change your outbound flight – then your cheap fare ends up far from cheap. Of course with some airlines you can buy flexible tickets but on balance for frequent flyers it is cheaper in the long run to buy the cheapest tickets and bear the losses if and when it happens to you.

Well. Since nobody has said the right answer, I’ll pitch in, AGAIN! All you need is your booking referance and your passport (And other essentials like yourself). The booking should be on the system. The only exception would be if you checked in online and you have printed off a boarding card. You need that!

Hope this helps!
