Good to know. We rarely fly, but when we do we take our leisure time walking around the airport. Now I know to make sure we are in the boarding area well before our plane loads. We don't want to miss those connections. Thanks for the info! Well I had no idea that they would do that. I mean sometimes you have no choice and you miss it but I suppose they would know that already if it was because of a flight delay. However I wonder if you were to let them know you were just 'skipping it' if they would still cancel - interesting nonetheless.
Well this is news to me and I am glad I know this now. That would be so frustrating! I imagine skipping a flight would mean a ton of money out of pocket too. Thank you for this information.

As far as the airline is concerned, you are traveling to the destination on the ticketed itinerary. If you have booked a ticket to an international destination, you must travel with a passport and may need to provide documentation that you have any required visas or proof of onward travel if you only have a one-way ticket. These documents are usually required when you check in for the first flight on your itinerary—even if the first leg is a domestic flight.
Be prepared with the required documents and keep this in mind when booking a hidden city ticket with an international itinerary. In rare cases of irregular flight operations or cancelations, your flight may get rerouted through another hub city.
If this happens, you can plead with the airline that the routing no longer works for you and try to suggest another routing through your intended destination.
An airline is only obligated to fly you to your ticketed destination. Traveling on a Basic Economy ticket is the riskiest as you will be the last to board. The easiest way to find hidden city tickets is by searching on Skiplagged.
It was created for this very purpose and is an excellent tool to reveal cheaper flights that may go beyond your intended destination.
When clicking through to book these flights, Skiplagged will give a warning that you are booking a hidden city ticket and make you click a checkbox that you understand the caveats when booking this type of ticket. Skiplagged will then provide a direct URL that you can copy and paste into a new browser window and it will take you directly to the airline site to book your ticket. Skiplagged also sells tickets for standard itineraries that do not require you to skip a flight.
In this case, Skiplagged acts as an online travel agency OTA and usually charges a fee to book the ticket depending on the airline. To find hidden city ticket options using Google Flights explore map , first search for a flight to your intended destination.
After figuring out which airlines fly nonstop, if any, isolate those airlines using the filters to search for flights on those airlines only. Then, delete the arrival city and either hit the tab key on your keyboard or click in a blank space outside the box.
