Airline Giant American Airlines Takes Legal Action Against Skiplagged for Cheap Ticket Controversy

American Airlines is suing travel website Skiplagged for deception, accusing it of tricking consumers into thinking they can exploit a "secret loophole" to save money on flights. Skiplagged sells tickets that allow travelers to take advantage of hidden-city ticketing, where they book a flight with a layover but leave the plane during the layover. American Airlines threatened to cancel all tickets sold by Skiplagged, claiming it violates their policies. Skiplagged has been sued before by United Airlines and Orbitz, but settled with Orbitz and had the United lawsuit dismissed.
