In a strict sense, it's a set of flights just to accumulate miles and return home, without any other purpose in mind. For instance, I've done mileage runs this year SFO-DCA (Washington National) where I'm on the ground for 2 hours and fly back home. I never leave the airport.

AZ could be Arizona or Alitalia (Italian carrier), depending how it is used.
ORD is Chicago O'Hare.
