Airline Giants Take Legal Action Against Travel Sites for Money-Saving Tactics
American Airlines is suing travel website Skiplagged for selling low-cost tickets to its flights without permission. The airline claims that Skiplagged is deceiving the public by selling tickets that could be voided at any point. The controversial practice of "skiplagging," where travelers book flights with layovers to skip the last leg of travel, has become a social media phenomenon. American Airlines argues that this practice results in lost revenue and operational issues. The lawsuit also accuses Skiplagged of trademark and copyright infringement. Skiplagged has faced multiple lawsuits from different airlines in the past.
