We’ve got answers.
What is “skiplagging” or hidden-city ticketing?
Skiplagging (or hidden-city ticketing) is a travel hack where you book a flight with a layover in your actual destination and then end your trip at that layover instead of continuing to the final ticketed city. For example, a New York–Orlando flight might cost $250, while a New York–Dallas flight with an Orlando layover is only $130. It’s the same destination, at a better price. These fares can save money, but travelers should review restrictions carefully, travel with only a backpack, and follow best practices. How skiplagging works →Is Skiplagging legal?
Yes. Skiplagging is legal, although it may violate an airline’s contract of carriage. While 99.7% of travelers encounter no problems, following our best practices can help reduce the risk. More on Skiplagging risk →How do I book a flight on Skiplagged?
Enter your departure city, destination, dates, and travelers to compare available flights. Results may include standard and hidden-city options. Use filters to narrow by stops, times, airlines, airports, or skiplagging options, then select a flight, review the details, and complete checkout. A confirmation email is sent after purchase. Step-by-step booking instructions →How do I find cheap skiplagging or hidden-city flights?
Search as usual. If skiplagging (or hidden-city) flights are available for your route, they will appear automatically in results with the skipped flight leg crossed off and the layover shown as your destination. Use the “Skiplagging” filter to show or hide those options. Availability varies by route and date. Booking a skiplagging flight? Follow these tips and best practices. More on finding skiplagging flights →Can I cancel or change a flight booked through Skiplagged?
Cancellation and change options depend on the airline, fare rules, and booking provider. Check your confirmation email for manage-booking links and contact information. Some Skiplagged partner bookings may be cancellable within 24 hours if a “Cancel Booking” button appears. Otherwise, contact the provider listed in your confirmation email. For full details, please refer to our FAQ support page below. How to cancel or change a flight on Skiplagged →Can I check a bag when booking flights found on Skiplagged?
Yes, for standard flights, you can check a bag, though you may need to pay a fee depending on the ticket or airline.
For skiplagging (or hidden-city) itineraries, do NOT check a bag as checked bags are sent to the final ticketed destination, not the layover where you exit. Checked bags and Skiplagged →
