Hidden city ticketing—where you book a flight with a layover at your actual destination and skip the final leg—can save you hundreds. Sites like Skiplagged have popularized this trick, but airlines hate it.
💡 How it Works: Let’s say you want to fly to Chicago. Booking a flight from New York to Denver with a layover in Chicago might be cheaper than a direct flight to Chicago.
🚫 Risks:
– Airlines may cancel your return flight if you miss a leg.
– Your frequent flyer account could be penalized.
– Checked luggage goes to the final destination, not your layover.
🔎 Tips for Finding Hidden City Deals:
– Use Aviasales to compare routes.
– Avoid using your frequent flyer number.
– Book one-way tickets only.
– Travel with carry-on only.
