When trying to get from Singapore to Hobart I looked at different ways of getting the best price into Australia Premium Economy and then getting a points bokking to Hobart.
The cost to Sydney on QF2 was $2100 but the cost to Brisbane via Sydney on QF2 was $1600.
Is there any reason why I can’t take the cheaper option and not catch the Sydney/Brisbane flight?

You may not be able to get short checked baggage.....
And repeated usage of the "procedure" in other airlines has attracted attention of the FF fraud divisions.
Not a good look if you plan on using a FF program to support your wandering

Atypical

Fly more, Pay Less

Cost of the service is not reflected in airline ticket pricing
It’s about dynamic auction style pricing for tics
High demand = pay more (profit profit profit)
