Different airlines have different policy but with AA I think you can cancel the return and still retain some credit for booking your next flight

 I don't think the $900 figures reflects the taxes that racks up these ticket prices.
Dittos Conner....'Cheapest isn't always the best.'
Agree with Scott...'Book the round trip originating there and then just toss the return ticket.'
Not every single lady on their K-1 visit proceeds with a marriage or necessarily stays with it after they do.
When I got my wife's K-1 flight [back when it was out of Warsaw]..the RT [Lot Airlines] was good for 6 months.

You didn't use my travel link, did ya?   ;)

RT on AA from DME to ORD, before April 12, excluding Tue and Thu --

Price I quoted you can book directly from AA.  Yes, many flights originating in Europe are getting hit with the "YQ" fuel surcharge (€180.00 or roughly $270 USD in this case).

Booking details
If you want to buy this ticket, contact the airline or a travel agent.  If you use a travel agent to buy this ticket:
If your travel agent is online and has an e-mail address, e-mail this itinerary to them
If your travel agent is not online, print out this page and fax/give it to them
It is very important to use exactly the same booking codes and fare codes that we've used on this page in order to match the price we've found.

 
Fare (A1): AA MOWCHI SLANRU fare (rules)  €234.50
Fare (A2): AA CHIMOW SLANRU fare (rules)  €234.50
Tax: USDA APHIS Fee $5.00
Tax: US Immigration Fee $7.00
Tax: US Customs Fee $5.50
Tax: Russian Security Charge RUB 155
Tax: US International Arrival Tax $16.10
Tax: AA YQ surcharge €180.00
Tax: Russian Int'l Terminal Use Charge RUB 406
Tax: US International Departure Tax $16.10
Tax: US September 11th Security Fee $2.50
Tax: US Passenger Facility Charge $4.50

Total for 1 adult passenger: $890.20

Fare construction (sometimes useful to travel agents):
      MOW AA CHI M 299.98SLANRU AA MOW M 299.98SLANRU NUC 599.96 END ROE 0.781703 FARE EUR 469.00 EQU USD 591.00 XT 5.50YC 7.00XY 5.00XA 32.20US 2.50AY 11.20RI 4.30UH 227.00YQ 4.50XF ORD4.50

A note about the YQ fuel surcharge - They bill this for every leg of flights originating from Europe (and probably most from outside the USA).  So, if you are like me, and have a connecting flight somewhere else, you get hit for another big surcharge fee.  If you book the connecting flight seperately, you save some money.  But then, you lose the protection from missed flights, delays, lost luggage, etc.  Let the buyer beware!

Book the round trip originating there and then just toss the return ticket.

We backlog trips and use them that way.  We begin a new trip with the tail end of a former round trip.  Then we return on another round trip that we only use half of for the time being, but the rest later on another trip.  It works as long as you book the "return" far in the future and at a time period that will work for you...
