I am not sure where you are getting deeply discounted ticket. It is
not like I got my ticket at priceline or hotwire I purchased it from
united. I understand your point that I purchased the ticket non
refundable etc. However, when I called to change the best they could
offer (at first) was a whopping $30 discount from what I could
purchase a one-way ticket on their website. At the end they finally
agreed to a $50 or $60 discount. So, my problem is that they will be
able to sell my ticket and if they sold it as a one way ticket they
would make $370 because I wanted to change the day I go home. I
really don't think they need to make $370 for a one way ticket. That
is all I am saying. If you are jumping for joy if you wanted to
change part of your flight and the airline is going to charge another
$150 so they can make a total of $370 off of your change, then be my
guest. I think it is a ripoff and chose not to do it. I guess it is
a good think I don't have to. Unfortunately that is who they take
advantage of, is the people that don't have a choice. And if I would
have paid the $150 more the least they could do is give me a free
lunch:)
