Happens thousands of times a day, and carriers factor it into their overall no show calculations for overbooking percentages. So while you are doing this the carrier is already factoring it into sellng the seat on that final sector for a second time.
You won't be in breach of contract because in the (very few) cases which have come into legal contention, the Unfair Contract Terms Act has been applied and such contract "terms" have been held to be a nonsense and set aside.
