I was also wondering if there were any negative implications of doing this to my TSA Pre-Check/Global Entry/Clear membership as I dont want to risk my other benefits long term.
One thought I had was I could book two separate one-way tickets and I could argue that I just missed the outbound flight but I am not sure if that would work and not create issues down the road.
Thank you for all the advice in advance.
I'm in the exact same situation and wanted to check if you ended up doing that and whether it worked out. Booking an extra (unused) seat for myself is significantly less than the baggage/seating fees when purchased individually.
