Cheap Skiplagging Flight Deals to Peoria (PIA)
What is Skiplagging? Skiplagging is a type of flight deal, also known as a hidden-city ticket, where you plan to get off at the layover city rather than the final, ticketed destination. Typically, airlines charge more for direct flights and less for flights with stops. When you see a flight marked as a "Skiplagging", that means this itinerary will continue on to another destination, but you will get off at the layover stop. The average savings for a hidden-city flight is $180.
