My travel,plans have changed and I need to cancel one leg of my booked flight. I understand I will get travel funds but my question is how soon can I cancel this flight? Day before? Thanks!

I have cancelled same day, there is a hard limit but it is much shorter than you would think, like 10 or 15 minutes before departure. Much shorter than the actual amount of time you would need to know that you will or won't be trying to make the flight.

 

Earlier would be a little better if it is a sold out flight, then someone else who wants to get on that flight can book it instead of waiting for standby spots.
