Is a refund for the return leg of a cheap China Airlines ticket possible?
I ordered a cheap return ticket from China Airlines and I'm not going to be able to make the return leg back home.
Is there any possible way to refund the ticket?
Or at least get some of my cash back?
Usually cheap tickets don't allow this right?
Should I just give up and consider it insurance for my trip (i.e. I needed it in case I had to leave the country at this time)?
Edit: Refunds not allowed.
But perhaps a change is possible i.e. change date of the return leg flight for the change in fare price?
Maybe change to leave in 6 months or 1 year?

I know I will have to return back to Brisbane in at least a year's time.
Should I try to change my flight and extend the travel date until I will return?
Also will their staff in Seoul speak English?
Would I be able to walk into the office and request a change?
Is that silly to try?

Can you get money back if your flight is cheaper?
Most airlines will not refund you if the fare goes down on your ticket. However, many times if you contact the airline or booking agent and advise them the fare decreased and express your frustration, they will either offer you a refund or travel voucher. They might even just offer to waive your baggage fees.Can I get a refund from China airlines?

If you are flying within the USA and have no checked baggage to a final destination, then skipping the final leg of a journey is usually fine. There's no penalty for cancelling (as the missed leg is the end of your trip), and you can just leave the flight with hand luggage without any worries.China Airlines Refund Policy is a SCAM
