Cheaper to fly more flights?
So confused. Why is it £2 cheaper to take the exact same london to washington flight. but with two "free" flights to and from Glasgow?

Supply, demand, competition, etc.
Why can it be £2000 cheaper to fly DUB-LHR-JFK rather than just LHR-JFK ;) |
So why not just not turn up for the DUB part?

Because it's sold with a condition that you have to fly it in order, and that if you don't turn up, your remaining flights are cancelled.

I thought with your vast travel knowledge and expertise that you would know all this stuff already, right?

Oh ok. I think I follow. So it's assuming people from London will want a direct flight. However from Glasgow I may be tempted to fly direct on another carrier, ergo they tempt me to BA with a lower fare? (overall)
On the other hand, if you start from INV and go IAD but return from BWI instead, it's only £777 in WTP. |

Last summer I found that it was $700 cheaper to fly 109 miles from MSN to ORD rather than take the bus to start a TATL. Ironically the flight was cancelled owing to a thunderstorm and there were no seats to connect to the next available TATL so I took the bus anyway at my own expense. I thought it better not to ask for a refund for the MSN-ORD leg.

You certainly came to the right place to get the answer to that question.
