Can you book multiple flights on the same day?
Example if flying from Syracuse to Phoenix, if cheaper to book seperate like book a flight from Syracuse to JFK, then book a flight from JFK to LAX, then book a flight from LAX to Phoenix.

Yes, you can book as many flights as you wish, and plan your own trip. Just remember that if you miss a leg of your trip, the airline is not obligated to put you on another plane.

Well 9 times out of 10 its more expensive but if its cheaper go for it. Keep in mind that you will then have to do that for the way back.

You can, but you should heed the advice of dances-with-unicorns1955. When you book each leg separately, each carrier's obligation ends when they get you to the destination you have booked with them. You can reduce your risk in two ways. First, pay for a class of ticket that gives you flexibility to transfer it to another flight. My normal carrier offers a discount ticket that can be transferred for an extra charge. If something goes wrong, there is still an option to change. This ticket is more expensive than the absolutely cheapest discount fares, but you cannot transfer them. Second, you can take out travel insurance. If you do this, be sure to check the details. I recently travelled overseas, and covered the risk with insurance, or so I thought. I organized a side trip, and the return flight was delayed. The insurer denied the claim because I had not left a minimum of six hours between the scheduled arrival of the first flight and scheduled departure of the second flight. Clearly all this adds to the total cost, and you might find that they then exceed the cheapest single booking price!

Of course you can. Might not be the cheapest, but you may end up with a lot of problems: 1) miss a connection and the airline have absolutely NO obligation to put you on another flight, unless you pay for it 2)Luggage: you HAVE TO check your luggage EACH time (which means you have to go to baggage claims, wait for the carousel which may take 30 minutes or more easily at JFK, schlepping your luggage from another terminal to another, etc, etc.,..) 3)You HAVE TO go thru security at each airport Is it worth it???? Don't think so !!!
