Also, you run the slight risk that NW might notice you have two tickets booked for the same time and cancel you on one (or both) of them. I'm not sure if they have the software in place to do that or not (I think CO does).
Glad you knew what I was talking about. Wasn't sure I did.
I edited my post to reflect the correct acronym...thanks.

And you are correct, it isn't worth the time and trouble. I was just sitting here playing around and the thought crossed my mind so I just was thinking aloud, so to speak. Was curious what type of replies I'd get.
