Missing an award flight? Ramifications?

[shortfinals]

Erm.......

Not that've I've ever done it or INTEND to, but what happens if you miss a flight ticketed as an award? What if it's ticketed in the non-changeable Krisflyer 15% off one?

I've got a tight connection on two separate tickets, and the one I'm connecting to is the award ticket.

As far as I know, that means you forfeit the flight (and the rest of your bookings will be cancelled). Regardless of 15% discounted redemption or regular redemption.

That's harsh.........
