Most airlines rely on no-shows...that's why they overbook flights.

I booked a one way ticket on Wednesday for the end of November. At $840, I'd have been mad not to. When you're certain about not wanting to return, you don't need to spend extra money on a flight you'll never use. No shows also cause delay, which is incredibly costly for airlines, and stressful for staff.

One way tickets are frequently more (much more!) expensive than returns. That's why people do it.

Huh, Air New Zealand must be one of the few where a one way ticket is cheaper, last I checked it was roughly twice as much for a return ticket.

It depends if the airline offers discounted fares on one-way tickets or not. A lot of the legacy airlines don't for long haul flights.
