  • Okay, but I've never known an airline to cut me any slack. Are you saying if you have to cancel your whole trip that would be easier to do if it's round-trip instead two one-ways? Commented Nov 2, 2017 at 17:44

    @KyleDelaney I'm saying if a delay caused by the airline caused the entire trip to be superfluous, they'd be more likely to let you cancel the entire trip than if you had it on two separate tickets. If your schedule changes, you'd be subject to the same rules whether booked round-trip or as two one-ways, and this would depend on the class of ticket. But if it's their fault, booking the flights together can help. Commented Nov 2, 2017 at 17:57
  • I see, then I guess it's like a form of travel insurance. Commented Nov 2, 2017 at 17:58

    @KyleDelaney In an indirect way. You always have this if the delay is their fault, but it only applies within the ticket for the flight in question. Commented Nov 2, 2017 at 17:58
  • Also, selling and processing both tickets in one transaction saves the company some work (and money). Commented Nov 3, 2017 at 13:13
