The trip you want to make is something which the dumbed down web sites
don't want to handle.
If you can find a dtw-lgw-dtw fare of about the same and in the same
booking class, you should be able to combine a half-roundtrip mke-lgw
with a half roundtrip lgw-dtw. But you need to check the actual fare
rules to ensure that they allow open jaw.
(when city of origin is not the same and city where trip ends, is that
still an open-jaw or is there another term for it ?)
To get such an itinerary to price properly , you need to talk to a human
at the airline or at a travel agent. And if such a fare is in fact
available, you should argue that they need to wave the "booking by
telephone" fees since their web site is programmed to refuse such
itineraries when they are in fact legal.
If you elect to just buy the full roundtrip and not use the last leg,
you should also consider that your luggage is likely to be tagged to mke
for your return. (even though you will go through customs at dtw and see
your luggage there).
After you have cleared customs, you may wish to call the airline or talk
to an agent to tell them you won't make that flight. By zapping your
checked luggage from the computer, it will be simpler for them when you
are a no-show on the flight.
