I am a DFW commuter, and when I first started commuting to ORD, I would often 2-leg as the flight loads looked way better going via TUL, XNA, etc (plus the metal was often ENY, which helped getting the JS). The CPO, told me not to do this as many times there was only one flight from the secondary city, and they said I was better off trying for 2 direct flights, then trying to get guidance on what would happen if I did not make it from the intermediate city...Fine by me!

They appreciated the 'good faith gesture' but at the end of the day this is way better for me...just going home if I dont make it vs. stuck in TUL. Of course if you have 2-leg...YMMV.

Boiler Up!
