United used to fly SFO-OAK using a big jet. The distance is about 10 miles. The flight then continued to the East Coast. This strange situation was written up in a Wall Street Journal story about frequent flyers. Some people regularly flew SFO-OAK, then took BART (the subway) back home, just to get miles. The tickets were very cheap for some reason.
