Multiple journeys on same route - roundtrip tickets in bulk (plane)
I've traveled one and the same route multiple times now, like every week. No I'm wondering if there is a possibility of buying a ticket which will allow me to travel this special route every week by just buying a single ticket.
For example my idea is of specifying particular flights: Monday 09.00 out and Friday 17.00 in for for each week for the whole year. But in best case it should also be possible to not check in for some weeks/flights.
Once I lived in Switzerland I had such a route-based ticked for train service.
Does anybody know about any airline that offers such tickets?

There is one airline that sells roundtrip tickets in bulk, Aeroflot. You can only purchase a bulk ticket between Moscow and other Russian cities. First roundtrip leg will be with a fixed dates, subsequent are open dated. You can buy 4-16 roundtrips, with some discount for bulk purchase. Here is their web page with more details (in Russian only):

Just found a similar American Airlines program:
So it really depends on the individual carrier

How do you book round-trip and one way at the same time?
Book the flights required for one person, then book the second set of flights for the other person, making sure they are on the same flights (as required) for the second person. If that seems too difficult, phone the airline and tell them what you require and book with them over the phone.Do you use the same tickets for roundtrip?
Changing A Return Flight Can Be More Expensive Domestic flights charge about $200. If, however, you are able to buy two low-priced, one-way tickets for the same trip, you can just not use the ticket that you want to change and purchase another one it'll still be cheaper than if you had to change the round-trip ticket.Can you book overlapping flights?
"Nested ticketing" or "nesting itineraries," sometimes also called "back-to-back flights," could help you save a ton on flights, but may be a little risky. It works best if you need to book two trips to and from the same destinations (say, going home to visit your family for Thanksgiving and then again for Christmas).What happens if I buy a round-trip ticket and only use one way?
Contact the airline before the day of the flight. Ask the company to modify the round-trip ticket for one-way usage. Although airlines practice a varying degree of flexibility, many airlines will modify a round-trip fare to allow one-way use, though some airlines may charge a penalty or fee for this service.How To Book Cheapest Multi-Destination Flight W/Skyscanner

Answering questions like this in the negative is very hard because you need to provide sources that something doesn't exist :) but indeed such tickets do not exist. Swiss, Lufthansa and Air Berlin flies this city pair but that's almost irrelevant as no airlines offer such.
