Does anyone have experience booking a round-trip ticket (rather than 2 one ways) and boarding at the layover location?

I am looking to book a trip this spring from Austin to Zurich (Amsterdam as the layover on the way back). If we decided to travel from Zurich to Amsterdam via train, could we board the layover flight to get home? Or will the airline (KLM/Delta) cancel our flight when we don’t show up to the Departure location?

Can someone please help me with the scope of Advisory role in Procurement Transformation team ?

Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand?

I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.
