No, I'm doing it to save money.
My initial trip (6/29 out, 7/9 return) allows me to take the week of the 4th of July off.
For a number of reasons, I might want to go back (leaving out of BUF) for the 2nd and 3rd and then go back for the rest of my vacation.
It turns out, the ticketing is cheaper than doing it "in series".
I'm well aware I could avoid the whole issue by just flying on another carrier, but I need the segments and miles, and why should I try to "hide" a perfectly legitimate trip? Would NW want me to use another carrier instead of them?
OK - rhetorical question. But seriously ... do their Fare Police check on stuff like this? What are the odds of raising a red flag? And if they do, what can they legally do ... confiscate my ticket? After they sold it to me?
