Definition
A travel strategy where a passenger books a flight to a destination with a layover at an intended final destination but never boards the final leg of the journey. This method can save money, especially on expensive routes, but can lead to complications with airlines regarding baggage and frequent flyer miles.
Common Misperceptions
Many travelers incorrectly believe that this practice is completely legal and risk-free, but it can violate airline policies and could result in penalties or loss of rewards.
