Don't worry about faa regulations; no-one takes *those* seriously. Just show up at the airport for the return leg, and everything will be OK. Even better, you could sell the outbound leg to someone else and save money on the deal. IMHO If you don't manage to sell your out-bound ticket, then since you've actually saved the airline some money in food, jet fuel, and baggage handling fees by not taking your outbound flight, you are within your rights to demand at least a $20 refund (in cash) when you check in for your return flight. They will almost certainly initially refuse to pay you this, but you should insist, quoting your rights under FAA regulations. Sometimes, they may back down quicker if you agree to settle for a First Class upgrade instead though, and they will respect you for knowing your rights. |

No, no, simply drive out to the airport on departure day, checking in too late for your flight, and they'll reschedule you, changing the date of your ticket's departure leg until after your scheduled return.
