They clearly state it in my company's T&C. In fact, my company states if they catch you doing it, they pass the charge along to YOU. Which would suck if a manager/partner was pressuring you into doing it.

I think it states it in the overall conditions you agree to when you book. They know who you are, I'm sure they send you a nice certified letter If they don't, their lawyers do!

Well, we could re-open the "can of worms" that Legacy Airline Fare Rules represent, but.....this subject has been discussed ad nauseum on various discussion boards and in thousands of other places.

There is no changing the basic facts: 1) the rules are stupid and are not based on anything close to the actual cost of getting a person from point A to point B

2) due to competition from LCC's, in many markets the arcane rules and silly restrictions no longer apply anymore

3) in the case of the OP and the question about a nested ticket, I do not believe NW or any airline has the right to tell you that you can not fly to IND for a few days if you choose to, but actually must stay in BUF (a hostage of the airline, so to speak???) If you have the money to pay for the ticket, they can't refuse to sell it to you.

And if they sell you the ticket, then they must honor it and fly you to IND and back to BUF. If they wanted to create problems for you about making a "nested trip", they should have simply refused to sell you the ticket in the first place. Just buy the ticket, and don't lose any sleep over it.

That would be OK since o/w trips do not have a non-combinability clause. You'll pay thru the roof for both the o/w flights b'cos it's usually a Y or B fare instead of the lower class r/t fares (K, T, etc). Best bet: buy r/t tickets and discard the second halves. These "throw-away" itineraries are also a no-no in legacy airline fares... but are harder to track esp when you interline with another carrier to a destination not served by the main.
