☆ 'Skiplagging' doesn't always save money — and there could be serious consequences if you're caught, travel expert says
  + stars: | 2023-06-11 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A travel expert said that "skiplagging" didn't guarantee travelers would save money on flights. The travel hack known as "skiplagging", or "hidden city" ticketing, doesn't guarantee that you'll save money on your airfare, according to a travel expert. But Gilbert Ott, the founder of travel site God Save The Points, warned that skiplagging can save money, but depended on your departure point and final destination, he told Insider. American Airlines, United Airlines, and Lufthansa are among a growing list of carriers taking action to combat the practice. United Airlines and travel site Orbitz also tried to sue Aktarer Zaman, the CEO of travel site Skiplagged, in 2014, accusing him of "unfair competition" and "deceptive behavior."

☆ How to book a skiplag flight to save money — and why you shouldn't
  + stars: | 2023-05-27 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
"Skiplagging" is the practice of booking an airline ticket with the layover city intended as the destination. The strategy involves booking a flight with a layover intended as the destination city and then skipping the second leg. Founded by computer scientist Aktarer Zaman in 2013, the website helps customers find "hidden city" fares based on their preferred airports and destination. This did not bode well with Lufthansa, which identified the itinerary as hidden city ticketing and then requested about $2,400 from the customer as additional payment, according to court documents. American Airlines, for example, added new tools in 2021 to help agents recognize a hidden city ticket.

This means booking a flight with a layover at the intended destination and skipping the second leg. The practice is sometimes cheaper than booking a regular nonstop flight, but airlines hate it. For example, Google Flights said a roundtrip flight from New York to Amsterdam in late June on the Dutch flag carrier KLM cost from $2,850. A price comparison of a flight from New York to Amsterdam and a multi-city trip from New York to London with a layover in Amsterdam. United Airlines and the travel website Orbitz sued Skiplagged CEO Aktarer Zaman in 2014.
