    Having worked for an airline, be super careful about doing this. They can’t stop you from doing this but by not making it to your final destination you risk them canceling return flights… make sure you let your airline know upon arrival on your first leg so they save your return flight.

      You also risk that your flight gets reassigned to another connecting city. Maybe Vegas flight is delayed, and you get assigned to change planes in Denver. The airline isn't responsible for getting you to Vegas, when it was only your layover destination.

    Some airlines will ban you if you do this often. To make sure you are in the clear, just call them like 5 mins after the flight left to the final destination, assuming you stayed at the layover. Tell them you are in the bathroom with explosive diarrhea and was wondering if the flight could be delayed. They will tell you it already left and probably try to offer you a replacement flight, just fake like you're upset or annoyed, or be super polite, and say no thank you you will find another airline. One time I had an airline offer a reimbursement.

    Anyone who tries this? Make sure you only have one way tickets because if you have a return ticket, they will cancel that return ticket because you didn’t show up for part of your flights and then you’ll have to rebook that return at the current rate at the time you need to rebook at not when you originally purchased the ticket I used to work for an airline, so I know all about that supposed track and yes, it’s technically a legal track but they will not look kindly at you and they can ban you even if you don’t put your frequent flyer number in.

    I noticed this when booking a honeymoon trip!

But I'm looking for a Mediterranean vacation so I'm not looking to stop in Paris anyway

  • @Debunderwood

    Did this last week. Paris to NY $175 plus an extra $75 for a checked bag. Just skipped the lag from Newark to Montreal and at Newark you always have to disembark so your luggage comes off the plane. Only happens at Newark for some reason. Works great.

    How do you get back to your original destination? Once you do not board the return in Portland, you are a no show for all legs of you flight and the seats open up for people on standby.
    This one I hesitate to believe. If the plane crashes and the person is checked-in, they can be liable for fraud. This is when the federal gov gets involved and civil laws will not apply.

    Not a good thing to do. The ticket you purchase is like a contract…the airline has a contract to get you to that destination on your ticket. If you get caught doing this the airline can make you buy a new TKT most likely full price since it will be “same day travel” or you can be refused to travel.
    Even with carry on bags a lot of times the overhead space is gone and you have to check your bag at the gate to ….your final destination. If your TKT is for another city and you are getting off at Vegas…you won’t have your bag. It will go to final destination and you will have to pay FedEx to get your bag to you because the baggage service people will see you skip-lagged.

You get free drinks while gambling... even just sitting at the penny slots... when you need a drink, just got sit at a machine and within a few minutes a nice skimpiily clad cocktail waitress will come for your drink order... anything you want ... free... well except for the tip of course!! Always tip your servers and bar tenders well! It's a harder job than most people know. Plus the better you tip, the better your service will be 😉 trust me... been in the service industry for going on 6 years now and make around $35/hr waiting tables.
