This old but still super relevant piece from the NYT lays out all the creative booking tricks, and let’s be honest, who hasn’t at least considered skiplagging once or twice? I've tried a hidden city fare once (NYC to SFO via SEA) and felt like I was pulling off a heist. That said, doing it regularly sounds like asking for trouble if you’re loyal to a specific airline.
Would love to hear if others have tried these more than once, especially if anyone’s been flagged or had issues later on. Do airlines actually come after people, or is it all just noise?
