Or knowing BA they would probably charge you the one way fare plus a change fee. No problem with not using the return leg of a flight and I have done it many time for various reasons but would not risk not taking the first leg. In this circumstance what I normally do is book my main flight to a region as a return and then buy side tickets for local flights, especially where plans are not fixed and then if necessary and depending on ticket basis pay to change the return date if I need to. Do check the fare basis of any ticket you buy if changes are likely as some are non changeable and other have large fees so often better to buy a more flexible fare basis in whatever class you are buying. I would personally look to buy a London to Hong Kong return with your chosen airline, (I would personally avoid BA) and then a return from Hong Kong to Toyko. Alternatively you may be able to buy as a single ticket London - Hong Kong - Tokyo - London (may have stopover/plane changes) with someone like Cathay Pacific of Japan Airlines. BA & Virgin will nearly always be the most expensive options unless on a package or very cheap economy ticket based on 20+ years of short and long haul business travel.

Quantas used to do a cheap multi stop return ticket?

I used the Quantas Multi Ticket to go all the way round the world with 12 stops for £1500 back in 1990! |

You could do far worse than to speak to a decent travel agent like Trailfinders. They've sorted me out with many complex tickets in the past and no credit card charges either. |

Depending on whether your company's preferred agent is 'creative' enough and you can tolerate a bit of inconvenience, but great savings can be made by starting journeys from European airports rather than the UK still using BA and OneWorld airlines.
