I thought about this excuse as well, a typical mileage runner's bailout answer , but remember my itinerary...

NW0960 LAX-DEN WED 1145-1451 TICKET 1 (already purchased)
NW0961 DEN-LAX WED 1600-1719 TICKET 2 (proposed)
...only 41 minutes in LAX
NW0962 LAX-DEN WED 1800-2106 TICKET 2 (proposed)
NW0961 DEN-LAX FRI 1600-1719 TICKET 1 (already purchased)

I can't imagine an excuse good enough to explain why I need to jump back to LAX just in time to board again!

Which in turn leads me to my other question... could I get my BP for LAX-DEN when checking in at DEN after my first leg?

Also, what would happen if Flight 2 was delayed beyond the departure time of flight 3?
