During that trip I took a very hard look at flying home (on my own dime) on the middle weekend. That itinerary would have looked like:

15-APR SDF-> MEM
17-APR MEM-> SDF

As things worked out I elected to drive home as opposed to purchasing a flight, but this conversation has made me curious to see if I came close to breaking the rules (unknowingly).

Would this have been a back-to-back flight?

On one hand, I would have used all of the booked flights. And those flights would have been booked in that manner because some of the flights were being paid for by my employer, while I would have paid for others.

On the other hand, this pattern looks a lot like the examples everyone gives for back to back ticketing.
