I've done it twice, mostly to experience to new aircraft and/or airlines...as an aviation buff variety is very important to me and otherwise I dont often get the chance to experience new (to me) airlines/aircraft...

PHL-PIT-PHL...3/16/02...US A330 (Envoy class...that flight was operated by N674UW, hence my FT handle),2 hour layover in PIT, and returned on an FL 717 back in the days when FL flew PIT-PHL...total fare $84...I had never flown the US A330 before nor had I flown on AirTran previously

FLL-JFK-FLL...6/24/03...headed up on a Song 757, had a 5 hour layover, saw Concorde for the first and last time (a secondary motive to go on this trip), and came back on a jetBlue A320...both firsts in terms of airlines for me...total fare $160

Both trips were great ways to increase the variety of airlines that I have flown, which otherwise would have been minimal...I like variety and new experiences...both trips were worth every penny...
