Thanks for the feedback! It would be AC metal to Rome and TP into Portugal. Am I likely to get boarding passes for TP segments in Ottawa?
I would expect a saving on something like back-to-back or playing other games, but I'm fully in compliance with the Saturday-night restriction in both cases.
I'm sure it's a legal connection since it's ticketable on one ticket, the connection is 1:25 in Rome and while I should breeze through Immigration, I have to take my checked bag through Customs, right? (Since I'm going to Portugal, which is also Schengen). Coming back, I'm stopping in Rome, so the connection is no big deal.

Good point, although in this case full Y (if I leave Sunday, say) is $1215.80, only $30 more than including it in one ticket.
