If someone wanted to do an MR to qualify for status using segments instead of points/mileage, can you do multiple roundtrips between the same cities more than once a day? It sounds like a stupid question, but I thought someone said you can't do this.
IE: SNA-SJC-SNA-SJC-SNA-SJC-SNA?
By my calculations you can fit 3 roundtrips into one day.
Yes, I know it's not the most efficient way to get status...it's just a question for curiosity's sake.
The search is not working very effectively at this time. The thread where it was discuss extensively had to do with the bonus being offered a couple years back that involved using the DAL/DFW fields and flying rts to/from there on competiting routes with WN.
The prroblem was not getting all flights to book. The trick was getting the 3rd RT booked. The work around was to book the 3rd flight for the day without your aadvantage # and add it in after the flight was booked.
