What they do is cancel your entire trip. So if you don't have flights with the same airline on the way back....eh
Yep, and if you have a rewards or membership number, they just will ban you. If it happens once not a big deal, couple times even, start doing it regularly though, you will get caught.
What kind of idiot would have a rewards or membership account in 2026?
most people that fly with their jobs because it can give you a "free" vacation flight fairly often.
Not limiting this statement to airlines.
