FLY LGA-CLE Mon PM UA


This is Back to Back ticketing but not legal if it was UA. Since it is different airlines
UA and AA won't be aware of this, only God knows. The reason I would do this is I get 2 full days in NYC, but no hotel bills. I did this one time many years ago on CO when they had the EWR weekend special of $79:00 RT. I thought when I to book the EWR-CLE RT to avoild the Sat night stay the reservation system would not take this buit it did.
Exactly. As long as it's two separate airlines, and you meet the terms of each separate ticket, there wont be a problem. Airlines don't communicate between each other on such ticketing, and legally can't.
