Curious if anyone has had any experience with this
Anyone ever postpone a return flight back to their country? if so, was curious if anyone postponed over a year and the result?
1. a partial refund to use at a later date
2. applied the difference to another ticket
3. count as a loss
I have used Eva Air and Singapore Air in the past. Seems like will be using Eva air.. if anyone has specific experience w/ this regarding Eva, let me know
I read Eva's rules/regulations but wanted to hear personal experience if possible
Thanks

Eva seats are quite hard. Food's mediocre. They weigh your hand luggage, which is annoying as it's max 6kg, which is quite small. They are neither terrible nor great

every airline has its own policy for refunds, change of dates, Chinese airlines seem to be the most lenient.
most refuse to do anything if over 1 year,,, ie U lose
decades ago u could change for free. those times are long gone
Air asia u need pay for change and alos pay if there is a price deference ONLY if u do in advance. if u miss the flight u can get ONLY a refund for the departure tax.
Used to fly eva but preferred korean/Asiana, Cathy .
Now i fly china eastern or southern china back to the states if i go

thanks PR-- I thought the " 1 year " -- was a thing so was thinking i can ask for a refund of a partial refund... That way i have a refund .. or at least a portion of a refund.. especially if it goes over a year without using.
regarding the quality of airlines, i thought/assumed eva and singapore were the better ones.....I will look into Cathy/korean

Why not get a one way ticket?

Cathy Pacific were pretty cool when I was late for my flight and put me on the next one. Usually economy tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. It's always been an upfront add-on

was thinking of getting a 1 way ticket.. only issue-- if i do decide to return, i am taking a chance on how much the price will be... if i do get rt and i decide to stay.. i was thinking after reading this thread to just ask for a partial refund on unused portion of ticket-- it might not be that much but i would feel more comfortable doing that then taking chance of coming home and having to purchase a one way ticket and prices sky rockets
not the worst problem in the world. Would just make me feel more comfortable to already have ticket.. suppose i answered my own question.
Thanks CPT, timmy
