I guess your goal is to save money, so maybe you don't care about that part, but I am curious.
I have often looked for similar opportunities for nested itineraries. For example, KHI-DXB-SFO R/T is often less than half of DXB-SFO, so if I nested the itinerary and flew DXB-KHI-DXB-SFO, I wonder if the mileage would credit correctly, or would they only credit me DXB-SFO mileage?
Thanks for the post OP, there are indeed some good ideas out there.
from what i remember from the OP's earlier posts(DXB-KHI-DXB, see the link in the first post of the thread), I recollect that the OP got the miles for all sectors flown!!!
. this seems like a brilliant loophole which hopefully wont be closed soon.
Why do you say this is a loophole? You fly a sector, your get miles for it. They're not giving miles for sectors you haven't flown.
