Has anyone figured out if the above works?
I want to book a roundtrip on Southwest A-B-C. I'd like to get more
RR credits for this flight so normally I'd book A-B and then a nested
B-C. However, this is a corp reimbursed flight and I don't want to have
to answer questions on why I'm flying to/from B when I'm going to C.
So I was thinking I'd book two one ways -- one A-B-C and one C-B-A.
I can price this out at Southwest on each screen (so depart A, arrive
B, return city C). Will I get 1 credit for each segment? IE A-B, B-C,
C-B, and B-A? Or worse yet, is the answer 'it depends' on how the
fare prices, and if that, how can I tell which way my fare priced as?
(In this situation, Southwest may or may not offer A-B-C as a regular
connecting flight)
I can explain a one way ticket that is booked 'weird' as long as the fare
is comparable (it is). The added benefit is I would expect to get some protection if A-B is late. However, I only want to do this if I can get all four credits rather than the 2.
If no one out there on the 'interweb' has tried this then I guess I might be the guinea pig
Thanks
