It's not the same airport three times in a day that is an issue, it's the same route three or more times in a day that is an issue for the computer--thinks there might be a duplication issue. Waited to see what posted in about three days, then called up CD with the BP #'s handy and theyl fixed it up right quick, posted within 24 hours (at least AA CS got a lot of practice Spring 06). Yeah, did six RTs DAL-AUS-DAL in two days for the mega-bonus miles. If I had the time to do it during weekdays, I could have cranked through five DAL-AUS RTs in a single day. Sure, it's "just an RJ", but it was also the same equipment bouncing back and forth, so there was no stress about the possibility of missing the next flight as you were riding it.
