"Unveiling the Risks and Savings of Skiplagging: A Traveler's Guide"

Seasoned travelers sometimes use the practice of "skiplagging" or "hidden city ticketing" to save money on airfare by buying multi-stop airline tickets with layovers in a desired destination and then ditching the second flight. While it is legal for consumers to book hidden city tickets, it violates most airlines' policies, and they can cancel the unused part of the ticket, charge passengers the full fare, and refuse boarding. Skiplagging has downsides such as not being able to check a bag, the airline rerouting the flight, and it only working on one-way flights. It is recommended for experienced travelers to use sparingly.
