By law US airlines are required to let you cancel your trip upto 24 hours after you book it for a full refund. See https://bkpk.me/easy-return-tickets-for-international-travel... for more info.

In the past I've used this to great advantage by booking the outward and return legs of the journey separately. You can then cancel the return leg ticket and book a replacement later.

At the airport present tickets of both the original outward and return legs; as long as you don't overstay a visa there shouldn't be a problem. Obligatory note that this should not be taken as legal advice.

a one way international ticket usually costs about 80-120% as an equivalent class round way ticket, due to different price buckets.

You have to be flexible somewhere - either on date or price.

Another option is traveling on a low-cost carrier who generally sell outbound and return segments separately.
