It seems to me that a lot hinges on whether the fare would be different and whether you have a Saturday night stay?

For example how about this (random dates for example purposes):

outbound May 1 AA home base to BB

[then a local flight in Europe to CC on a different airline]

May 11 CC to AA home base


May 20 AA home base to CC

[then internal flight in Europe on different airline]

return May 30 BB to AA

All on DL (apart form the internal flights)

I see this as a back to back. But if there are Saturdays within EVERY stay, and each trip is a complete one, does one get spanked?

I'd be grateful for views. And grateful for wording in the COC that would specifically prohibit this.
