Can I mix 2 Round trip tickets to fly in/out of different airports twice?
I want to fly into airport 'A' and out of airport 'B' and it is a
little cheaper to buy a round trip ticket than a 1-way to Europe right now. If I use one leg of ticket '1' and the return leg of ticket '2' from my two round trip tickets, is there any way to set it up do the same trip in reverse at a later time? I assume there will be change fees, etc, but I hate to waste the 2 halves of the 2 round trip tickets I need to buy. Can this be done? |

I am a bit confused about you reason to buy 2 tickets. Are you flying A to B and back to A, or are you talking about flying A to B now, and B to A sometime in the future? Or something else? What is a "later time"? It sounds like you are talking about flying one way now and the other direction in the future. How long in the future is a part of the equation. It might be better to only buy one round trip ticket. You would generally not be able to use the return part of a ticket unless you use the outbound part of it first, so you might want to consider using it in the correct order, but buying it to start from the OTHER country. |

You need two tickets to do what you are trying to do, and they should be on
different airlines. Ticket 1, segment 1 on airline xxx goes from City A to City B Ticket 2, segment 1 on airline yyy goes from City B to City A The other two halves could be used for another trip later if you do the dates right. You have to do it this way because 1) an airline will cancel your remaining segments if you skip a segment 2) most airlines have rules that you have to use up a ticket before you use another one, so to play it safe you should use different airlines "Brett" wrote in message om...

Would flying A to B, B to C to B, and B to A on two round trip tickets work? (This would all be domestic US). |

I'm going off the assumption that you are trying to do something similar to the following example. e.g. Start at JFK and then fly to London Transfer to Paris by train Fly from Paris to JFK Now you are proposing that you buy a JFK-London return and a Paris-JFK return, only use the outward leg and use the return at another time? The answer is yes, you could, as long as you have the two journeys completely seperately ticketed. It would probably work using the same airline, however to be safe it's best to use two different airlines for your two flights. One restriction is that you *must* use the outward leg of your ticket first, you cannot use the return first. However using that method you are still paying for two roundtrip transatlantic tickets - not cheap! A far better option for you, and one sometimes not available on web sites is an open jaw. i.e. You would have one ticket which allows you to fly to one airport, transfer to another airport and then fly back to your origin. Each segment is usually priced at half the equivalent return fare. i.e. you will usually not pay any more than a standard return ticket to one airport. Hence saving yourself a small fortune! Hope that helps! Mark |
