Remains to be seen whether the they will honor the tickets. These kind of deals are hit or miss when being ticketed.
Mine have been ticketed
. Hopefully they honor. I got 2 one ways from Europe for $120 in First class.

Scroll down to the Ryanair pic for a laugh. Somebody didn't care if he got fired.

Awesome. You see the RyanAir Response?

You need to leave Denmark as your billing country.

They killed it already. They aren't letting any Danish transactions go through.
Legit about right when I tried to purchase it

Sooo, what was your plan that let you take advantage of this? Were you heading that way anyways? I can't recall.
Any time these come up I'm always not in the position to pounce on them. Mainly because I'd be leaving the SO behind.
Next time one of these come up for a destination she's already been to, I'm booking it, and then we can sort it out later.

Thinking about this all wrong. You are not forced to get on every leg of a flight and the discounts are worth it.
For example, if you wanted to book a business class trip to Hawaii, you only need to get to the layover city to hop on the Hawaii leg.
London -> Layover in US City -> Hawaii (Roundtrip)
Skip the London trip -> US City leg and just hop on the US City to Hawaii and back. The discounts were so huge that it easily would have paid for it.

If you don't make the first leg, they cancel your entire itinerary. You can't skip the first leg and hop the second leg. It doesn't work like that.

I would be shocked if they didn't let you post booking cancel a leg.

You definitely can do the hawaii trip on the way back since they can't force you to make the last flight leg so worst case you book one leg of the flight to Hawaii on your own and have a 50$ business class trip back

No. When you don't get on the first leg, the rest of your trip is void. Pretty sure that includes the return.

I'm not. I was just curious what his travel plans were.

Looks like you are right. I've seen flyertalk threads say that you can at times call in to Customer Service and indicate that you for whatever reason need to cancel that flight and some will let you.

I think a decent workaround is say you took another flight perhaps.
For instance. My flight to Frankfurt from IAD got cancelled on Lufthansa, but I was able to get switched to a United flight. Lufthansa had no idea we made it to Frankfurt and bumped us off the connection to BCN. Of course we got back on, but I bet you could probably use this logic to work in your favor.
But I don't fly enough to ever have had to test out these theories. Only like 5/6 times a year.

I ended up booking 6 tickets. Two round trips(1 for me/1 for my wife) and two one ways from LHR to MSY. I didn't get creative with the routing as I needed these to be minimal travel time tickets due to my wife's lack of vacation time and me wanting to book expeditiously.
Both of our Tickets:
LHR-ORD-MSY
MSY-ORD-LHR
LHR-ORD-MSY
She's coming on one trip with me and not the other, so I'll have to eat the return trip home on her ticket and get a one way award ticket there for me.
I overlapped them so I could get her back to MSY since you had to originate in Europe. I didn't think all of this through very thoroughly. I should've booked my one way as a round trip.
It came out to $57/ticket or about $70 each way factoring in the ticket I will have to eat.
All of this is still up in the air as we will have to wait to see if the tickets are honored. Pretty skeptical, but who knows.
