Riddle me this, Batman!

So I just got through planning some non-traditional travel, involving flights that were not round trip. By happy coincidence, I discovered that plotting each leg one at a time as opposed to 'multi-stop' meant my ticket price reduced by fifty percent on every single leg.
Twice the cost for planning them all at once.

Round trip vs circle vs open-ended vs one-way is all so arbitrary. If you need to fly one way, you can often save money by buying a round-trip ticket and burning the second ticket.

....I had not even thought to try that.

You have to be careful though. Many ticket contracts will have some language along the lines of, “This is a package deal. If you don't accept the entire package, just like we say, we reserve the right to screw you.”

Oh yeah. Now that you mention it, I was there on one occasion when the airline invoked that rule. But he was also a constant traveller.
