I've been looking at a similar scenario. Mrs. Duxfan is going to need so help to make silver this year, may have to do it on segments. There are some really cheap fares in a market from CLE. Could I do this?

First Saturday:

Ticket one: CLE-DTW-XXX on a CO ticket on CO flight number operated by NW.

Return same day on ticket 2: NW ticket xxx-DTW-CLE on NW flights on NW metal.


Second Saturday:

Use return half of ticket 2: NW ticket CLE-DTW-XXX NW flights, NW metal.

Use return half of ticket 1: XXX-DTW-CLE CO ticket, CO flight number, NW metal

8 segments for around $200. She'd use all parts of the tickets, I can't see that I'm courting disaster, but still...
