I am curious about how people choose to log local flights where you
might fly over another airport or city, but not land there.

For example, on a nice day I might make an hour or hour and a half
"grand tour" over several nearby cities, just for the pleasure of
looking at the changing countryside, and then land back at my home airport.

No FAR issues, of course, but wonder if most people just enter it as
"KXYZ LCL", or cite the cities or airports flown over but not landed at.

Yes, I typically list "local."


Second, what is your preference if you make a flight involving several
intermediate stops, all in one day? If it's a major cross country, I'll
log each leg on a separate line, but if it's just "A" to "B" to "C" to
"A"... do you log each leg separately or show it as multiple entries on
a single line with the grand total time for the trip?

I almost always log each leg as a separate entry. Flying only 25-50
hours a year fills the log book pretty slowly even with this method.
