Anyone tried skipping the last leg of a flight because your real destination is the connecting city? For 1-way flights.

I understand the risks and am ok with burning the bridge with some airlines but curious about other fish’s experiences here.

It will work but all the points you know about

I’ve done it a often in my youth. I even lucked out a few times where the final leg got cancelled and I got a refund for that leg on top of getting a cheaper flight.

I would NOT recommend it today now that skiplagging has gotten popular and mainstream that the airlines are tracking this practice for chronic violators. You will get banned from the airline and lose all your FF accruals.

o dang I was counting on them not sharing info lol

it is not a few dollars tho, far from it esp during peak times

Key is to find the flight on skiplag and then book directly with the website of the airline. I do it once or twice a year

no bans?
I see skiplag sends u to the airline site anyway

My daughter did it last year not because the flight was cheaper but because plans changed. She was flying Rome to LA through JFK but then needed to go to Boston. Just got off at JFK and bought a new 🆕 ticket JFK-BOS. It was cheaper than rebooking the flight Rome to BOS. I think if you do it very rarely, nothing will happen.

It's relatively safe to do on an airline you don't have a FF account with.

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.
