I have a relative who moved to the US a couple of years ago. A one-way ticket costed _more_ than a round-trip, so he and his family bought roundtrip tickets. They flew normally but obviously never caught the flight back.
The airline later cancelled his platinum frequent flying status and charged him with the difference threatening to sue for fraud.

- test1235 9y agowhy would an airline care if the passengers caught their flight or not? The tickets are already paid for.
- ghaff 9y agoBecause (in their eyes), you're gaming their fare rules. That said, I don't know how common this sort of action is. At various times, I've had to change flight plans and it was cheaper just to burn a booked return leg than pay the cancelation fee. And I've never had an issue doing so.
- danmaz74 9y agoDid you relative notify the company that they wanted to cancel their return flight? I don't think the airline could have complained in that case.
