Can I have the final leg of a multi-city flight refunded?

Accepted answer

Depends on your ticket conditions and the airline in question, but odds are pretty likely the answer is no.

What you have sounds like an open-jaw return: you've basically paid for A-B/B-A return as a single ticket, with a small surcharge to return from C instead. Airlines will generally not refund any portion of a return ticket after the journey has begun (= you have flown one half of it), and this applies to open-jaw returns as well.

A "true" multi-city itinerary consists of a series of one-way flight tickets tacked onto each other. These would usually let you refund individual segments, because they're separate tickets under the hood, but they also usually cost a lot more.

Even if you cannot get a refund of the fare, you may be able to claim a refund of the taxes on the unused part of the ticket, which can amount to a significant proportion of its price. See e.g. here. The details depend on the country and airline.
