In the old days it didn't cost anything extra on AA to fly LGA-BOS-JFK-XXX. I did it twice, LGA-BOS-JFK-LAX and LGA-BOS-JFK-PHX. And as that was when you got 1,000 RDMs as a Platinum per segment as long as you weren't doing anything important that morning it was a great way to earn segments and RDMs.
