MR using e-fares
I was thinking about doing a faux-mileage run using UA e-fares by purchasing two tickets that essentially come out to nested tickets that create a same day round trip on two separate days
for examle
A-B (ticket 1, Day 1)
B-A (ticket 2, Day 1)
A-B (ticket 2, Day 2)
B-A (ticket 1, Day 2)
This is the only time I've thought of trying this- anyone have experience doing something like this or come across any issues (especially during weather/irrops)?
Not a true MR but it gets me some time with my girlfriend for a few days on relatively low fares.
Thx
Pete

As others have noted..
As others have noted...e-fares do impose somewhat of a minimum stay. Flying from WAS, I know that I can select either a same-day return e-fare for Saturdays, or a domestic leaving fri/return mon, or leaving sat, return tues. Either way, I see a Sunday having to be part of Ticket 1, to draw from your example.
Unless you find a way to nest two same-day return e-fares within each other - now that's timing!
