    Thank you for explaining fuel dumping. It's still confusing, but helped actually hearing someone explain how it works. So complicated! But if you can work a great deal, it's worth it.

    Well, as long as they don't take you to court it should be fine to go for a hidden ticket. I am looking for cheap flights from Manila to Budapest I fly every 4 years tho.

    I do this “hidden city ticketing” very frequently. Since 2016. Primarily with American Airlines and I fly every other week. Never seemed to be an issue.

    Good one. In Terms of Mistake Fares or Error Fares i took advantage of one in 2019 which brought me OW from Poland to Seoul in Business for 400€ .
    In terms of Hidden City Tickets here are some interesting news: 1) Lufthansa was trying to charge extra costs from a Passenger(M&M member) for a no show on his Itinerary. i think it was something like your Example. So he skipped the last leg , bought a complete new ticket to another destination and LH got mad. The Case was taken to Court and LH lost. The Judge argued that LH did not loose any Money and that it is the passengers choice to leave. He also stated that the rules made by LH in terms of flying in sequence of ticketing are not in favour of the customers. So far i think LH has not changed the rules but in Italy it is ok to leave the plane. So you can easily fly from A - B and leave and not fly to C without any penalties. The only thing is that TICKETING HAS TO BE DONE IN ITALY and nowhere else.
    Like your chanel and you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany

      Ok so there's a flight my friends are trying to book to get to Washington DC from San Francisco. There's a hidden city flight from San Francisco to Chicago. Then Chicago to DC but that's a 35 min layover in Chicago. Does that mean they get off the plane and get on the plane heading to DC or stay on the plane waiting until it gets to DC?

    Hi dude, I watched your video on lounges.
    To clarify; realistically a normal person isnt going to get free lounge access typically. The credit cards have annual charges etc most of the time and my income isnt huge. I'm guessing It's unrealistic for me? :P

      Not really. It's like if the TTC charged less for Finch to Union than for Finch to Bloor for some reason, and so you bought Finch to Union and got off at Bloor.
