Combining 2 roundtrip tickets

Combining 2 roundtrip tickets - Blue Luggage with Folded Clothes

I am travelling from country A to country B. I want to spend about a month in country B and I would like to repeat this journey in 6 months or so.

Are there any rules against buying 2 roundtrip tickets like so: 1) A-B September, return flight B-A May 2) B-A October, return flight A-B June

Then flying to B using the first leg of ticket #1 in September and coming back to A using the first leg of ticket #2 in October. Similar process in May.

Nested returns are totally fine and quite common for say, Kiwis who have gone to live in London - 1 way over there, then returns from London to NZ, repeat for x years, then a 1 way back to NZ even.

I've also had LON-EZE return, and inbetween, went EZE to CHC and back, then back to London later.

Can you combine plane tickets?

It's possible to buy flights from two different airlines when booking, just add each flight one at a time. i.e create a trip with two one-way flights instead of a return trip. Good to know: Two one-way flights with low-cost airlines usually come to the same price as a return flight with one of them.

Can I connect 2 separate flights?

A: It depends, but the general rule is NO. Some airlines will through check baggage onto separately ticketed flights, but some won't (even if both tickets are with the same airline). Some airlines will take pity if your delay is due to them, but others don't.

What happens if I buy a round-trip ticket and only use one way?

Can I buy a roundtrip ticket for a one-way trip? Technically, you can buy a roundtrip ticket and only use it to go one-way, but airlines frown upon this. And, you can only skip the return flight. If you miss a segment of your trip, the airline may cancel the rest of your ticket without giving you a refund.
