Trump's PAC Embraces Skiplagging Trend

Former President Donald Trump's political action committee, Save America PAC, has reportedly embraced skiplagging, a controversial money-saving tactic for flights, as it spent over $21 million on legal fees. The PAC's campaign finance filings indicate that it paid SkipLagged, a site that helps travelers find hidden-city or money-saving ticket measures. Skiplagging involves booking a longer flight with a layover and then not taking the final flight to the destination. While airlines are cracking down on this practice, it is not illegal. Trump's PAC raised $15 million but spent $30 million, with a significant portion going towards legal fees. Trump's legal issues and high spending could pose challenges if he decides to run for president again.
