dnoblett Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here is one I just learned about this morning, this site leverages a trick called "hidden city" ticket shopping (where you stop at connecting cities, not the final destination), the only way I would do this would be if traveling with no checked baggage. In the past when asked by members about ticket pricing for an immigrant such as a K-1 from time to time it comes up buy a Round Trip or One Way, and sometimes a RT ticket is cheaper than a one way, so buy the RT and simply don't use the return trip, Skip Lagged takes this further, sometimes the airline sells a ticket that connects on to a further destination than the one you intend to go to, for example you intend on traveling to Chicago or Atlanta, but there are cheaper flights to a place that connects through Chicago or Atlanta, the Idea is take the cheaper flight and simply not make the connection and get off at the connecting airport (Hub Airport) A couple airlines have attempted to sue Skiplagged over this however one court has tossed this. https://skiplagged.com/ http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/01/investing/united-airlines-lawsuit-skiplagged/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg.D. Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Will probably see more of this as more people have figured out they can travel with a single carry-on after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
