Last spring I flew back from a conference with four very experienced shoppers, two of whom are also independent schedulers. Each was transferring to a different flight from the one that we shared, and ALL of them were doing shops of both legs of their flights. Since I knew that SQM shops that airline, I knew that they were glad to work (as often as they can, from what they said) for the (un-named at any time) MSC. Yes the MSC books the flight. And the shopper does not get rewards miles for it. If 50 percent off of a long trip works for you. go for it.

It's a great shop for the once-a-year flyer.
I now have over $1000 in flight credit in 4 months from being bumped, so I am doing much better paying for my flights. Usually, the MSC (not above discussed MSC) is paying for my flights really, as a part of a project or assignment out of state.
