I don't want you to lose too much sleep as to what I'm about to tell you, but, you should be aware, that airlines and travel companies are able to charge you the full one way price onto the credit card you used for your reduced round trip tickets, if you do not fly back, as booked. If it comes to their attention, your credit card may be charged, after you fail to return as contracted with the airline. The airline assumes you'll be returning, so those seat will not be sold to someone else. Never mind the airlines usually oversell each flight by 10%, because they know, there will be no shows, and only one way travel, on a round trip tickets.!!
The whole one way costing more than a round trip ticket is a bunch of crab to begin with, but airlines want to rob the business traveller as much as possible, because they are mostly last minute and one way travellers, if they don't know how long they will be away for.
