Two one ways vs round trip

[sam_gordon]

Just an FYI.

A number of posts have said that there is no advantage to RT air.

I know it's only a single data point, but pricing for our trip to the mouse in June, current RT is coming in at $320. Same flights, but two one ways, same airline (Delta) is $438.

Not saying one shouldn't look at two one ways, but there can be savings by using round trip.

Can also make a difference during IRROPS (Irregular Operations) or for travel insurance. Both my credit card coverage and my personal policy require roundtrip tickets to pay out.

Southwest is the biggest one where I wouldn't do round trip. The chance of the price on one leg dropping & the ease of changing to the new lower price make it so convenient to make adjustments, and it's so nice to change a one-way flight without worrying what the other flight is doing.

But to be fair, I don't do travel insurance.

Do they require a round trip ticket or just a return ticket?

round trip is what I was told by my credit card company as the outbound and return need to be on a single itinerary.
