Save BIG on flights with hidden-city ticketing

The Truth About Skiplagging, For 98% Of Airline Travelers

Before Skiplagged, a technique existed within travel circles that was so effective, it was hardly ever discussed publicly. It was like Fight Club, but more like flight club. The magic trick known as “skiplagging” still totally exists, still saves incredible amounts of moneyand it’s now reached MTV pop culture status. With all that attention, it’s gotten more people than ever trying it and that’s…

Skiplagged - Cheap Flights & Hotels

Device: iDevices & Android

Skiplagged finds the cheapest flights, including “hidden city” flights with huge discounts over regular pricing. Discover great flights and travel deals, set fare alerts, and book cheap flights with the Skiplagged app.

- Find flights other search engines won’t show you -- including hidden-city flights and arbitrary round-trips

- Filter flights by duration, number of layovers, takeoff/landing time

- Easily visualize the lowest fares day by day

- Fare alert notifications when prices drop

- Book hotels as well, including last-minute hotels & special deals

- Filter hotels, read reviews and view traveler ratings

The fine print: a hidden-city flight is a flight where you get off at the layover rather than the final destination. For example, a flight from New York to San Francisco might be $300, but a similar flight from New York to Seattle with a layover in San Francisco might be $200. If you’re going to San Francisco we’ll show you both flights, and if you choose the cheaper one, you get off the plane at the layover (San Fran.) rather than going to the final destination (Seattle).

YSK: using skiplagged is very risky! Carry on bag issues

YSK: using skiplagged is very risky! Carry on bag issues

Guys, I just tried skiplagged for the first time, flying delta from Dallas to LA, skipping the continuing flight to Phoenix. I was set to board zone 2, but as soon as I got to board the gate agent announced all overhead bins were full and carry-on bags would need to be checked from that point on. I obviously wouldn't be able to get my bag from the Phoenix airport baggage claim, and the airline wouldn't ship the bag to me. I told the gate agent I wouldn't be continuing to Phoenix and needed my bag in LA, as a carry on, so the gate agent told me to wait to the side. Then the plane left. Then she gave me a ticket for the next morning to LA. Be careful! I am probably not going to try skiplagged again unless I'm traveling without a carry on and some careful planning.
