Looking for flights over the school holidays, below is an example from Thomson.
The first is a one way flight from Palma to Manchester(note the flight details) £1155.96 for 4 adults.
PMI - MAN
4 Adults at £285.13
Taxes & Charges (details) £ 1140.52
£ 15.44

Flight TOM 2424 12:05 Depart Palma Mallorca (PMI)
13:50 Arrive Manchester (MAN)
Total Flight Price £ 1155.96
---------------------------------------------------------
And now for a return flight Manchester to Palma but the return flight is the same one as above - total return price £1095.92 - so it's £60 cheaper to book a return flight and miss the outbound flight !!!!

I believe that I am right in thinking that some carriers/tour operators will cancel your flight completely if you don't make the outbound flight.

Yep Pippa is right. be aware of not turning up for outbound leg. I am sure somewhere in the Holiday Truths flight forum there has been much discussion on one way travel on return tickets - now there is a job for the mods!! Can they find it

Can I use just the return portion of my ticket?

Basically it confirms what has been said before in similar threads, that if you do not travel on the outbound sector of a ticket then the airline may cancel any subsequent flights sectors booked.

Often the reason for this is that if you book inbound only it makes it difficult to sell the outbound seats as there are no seats left for the inbound, hence the price is high.

Why dont you look at Easyjet into Liverpool way cheaper and with what you save a taxi to Manchester will still be cheaper
Or Flymonarch.com, about £530 one way to Manchester
