Conventional wisdom is that one round-trip ticket are (often substantially) cheaper than two one-way tickets.
Apparently, I just found the opposite to be true on a few flights I was researching (last week of Oct/2004). The fare difference ranges from US$10-35.
Go to: aa.com and jetblue.com and do some random fare searches for the exact same itinerary and see what you find when comparing one-ways to round-trips. My SDQ-JFK-SDQ on AA went from US$290 down to about US$275 when I bought two one-ways on AA.com
Why ??? I'm not complaining, just really intrigued !
