Advantages –
Easier to change/cancel if your plans change and you want to fly either leg on a different date. I’ve taken advantage of this a few times, including while I have been on the holiday.
Can save you some cash on the surcharges on certain routes.
Disadvantages –
If you cancel the whole trip you pay 2 x fee.
Your return isn’t protected if the airline cancels your outbound.
