i travelled to the states with a return ticket from nigeria using klm, the ticket expires july 2011,but i dnt intend to come back to nigeria anytime soon, cos i won a visa lottery and i have my greencard now

Apart from the luxury that business or first class section of a plane provides, there are other advantages as well as insurance that are involved, hence the price is considerably high. Now, if your reservation was for business or first class, then, you should be given a refund depending on the terms and conditions of your carrier. But if you purchased an economic class ticket, then, forget it, there is no refund even if you didn't make use of the out-bound ticket at all. Such is the policy with economic class tickets.

Olisman,
Remember when you buy a ticket you also pay for the taxes and surcharges upfront plus the actual cost of the ticket.

You can get a refund of your taxes etc at least. Sometimes this is up to 40% of the cost of the flight.

Hope this helps.

The other thing is, that single tickets often cost not very much less than return, so even if you had bought a single ticket you would have probably paid close to the same price. These people don't even allow name change so the chance of refund is virtually nil. Only possible way is if you have insurance and you make up a big story.

thanks anyway guys, maybe something good will come up and i will get a chance to use the ticket b4 it expires, cos i just feel its a waste if i dnt use it
