You call that realistic? 90% of the people who read that article aren't smart enough to understand that it only works on the way out and not the way back home. I can't wait until someone tries it and gets burned.
I have travelled millions of miles and never make a secret of my ticketing intentions, often giving the airline reservation agent multiple pnr numbers to match up my travels or make changes.

Exploiting loopholes or shopping for low fares is not wrong. Nobody has been convicted of fraud for this. Ever.
