I have a piece of string - how long is it?
You'd be best asking the airline, not us!

there may well be - the airline could tell you :) or their website perhaps

There's a standard percentage range - somewhere between 0% (Any "fully
refundable" ticket) and 100% (any "no refunds" ticket).

Depends on the fare type.

Not sure if this has been resolved to your satisfaction, but once, a few
years ago, one of the daughters had to cancel a Qantas ticket. She's in
the Navy and was to meet her ship in Hawaii, after visiting us for Xmas
one year. The ship sailed as per normal and we bought her the ticket.
Then her CO calls to tell her the the ship was returning to Fremantle
and that she would have to report for duty there rather than Hawaii. So,
we went to Qantas who said that they refunded up to 50% of the airfare,
but there was also a 50% cancellation fee, which meant that $1,500 went
down the shitter.
Not much that we could do about it. I suggested that she still "board"
the flight, check her luggage in and then catch a VB flight back to
Perth. Said luggage, of course, would be old throwaway bag or something.
Make the pricks unload the flight when she didn't board.
In the end, though, prudence prevailed. Paid through the nose for a one
way flight MEL-PER with VB.
Was a great way to end what was a fantastic Xmas/New Year....

just spent a few bob on travel insurance.:)

Hindsight, Phil, as they say, is 20-20. At the time, the plan was fairly
straightforward. Catch a one way flight to Hawaii and grab a taxi out to
the port where the ship was docked or parked or whatever it is that they
do with them (CVN-72).
It was when the ship was halfway to Hawaii that it was turned around. As
it was, the daughter was stuck in PER for two weeks while they had an
mini-overhaul. The missus was unable to fly back out there to see her as
she had to work and there was no guarantee that the daughter could get
shore leave.

As long as you want it to be
