I should also add that I would never fly to a destination unless its absolutely required (work, family & friends vacay, etc) Is that called a mini/faux/pseudo MR? . thanks guys.
yes, most people consider a MR to be taking a flight only to take the flight. A couple of years ago DL did a promo from BNA for double MQMs. Every Saturday three or four people were heading out to syd and returning by Sunday evening.
