QANTAS used to do much the same thing (probably still do). QF1 would fly
SYD-BKK-LHR and QF5 would fly SYD-MEL-SIN-BKK-FRA - they would have a
composite flight - QF105 - for passengers flying SYD-FRA, utilising QF1 from
SYD to BKK and QF5 from BKK to LHR - it deceives the customer into thinking
they are getting the same plane all the way through.
