Is getting off a flight partway to save money ethical? Credit: stevendamron/Flickr
One solution to finding cheap flights is to get off the plane early, suggestions a story in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. So-called “hidden-city ticketing” is when you book a cheap flight to Vegas, for example, but deplane during a connection at your true destination of Salt Lake City.
What’s going on here? Flying to smaller airports with fewer flights is more expensive than flying to a major airport like NYC, Vegas, Miami, or Boston.
Obviously, this doesn’t work for non-stop flights. But for connecting flights, the New York Times Magazine reporter found four instances where buying a ticket directly to a big city, but then getting off at the connecting city, was less than 50% of the cost of buying a ticket to the connecting city. Examples:
Jetblue flights are $9 each way!
Fly from Boston to Newark for just $9 on Jetblue when you book your flight today, Apr. 28, 2011 by 11:59 p.m. EST or local time. Prices are good for travel between May 4-June 15, 2011 when you fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Fees and taxes apply, see below for details. THIS DEAL WILL GO SUPER FAST!
Caveats: Offer subject to availability; may change without notice; nonrefundable, nontransferable; oneway. $15 fee applies for fares purchased by phone or JetBlue ticket office. Offer does not include Passenger Facility Charges up to $9 each way; Sept.11th Security Fees up to $5 each way; Federal Segment Tax of $3.70 per domestic segment. Taxes/fees must be paid at time of purchase. Previously purchased tickets may not be exchanged for these special fare tickets. Cancellations/changes must be made prior to scheduled departure (otherwise all money for fare is forfeited) $100 fee p/p and applicable fare adjustment apply, at jetblue.com or 1-800-JETBLUE (1-800-538-2583), TTY/TDD 1-800-336-5530. Cancellations receive JetBlue travel credit, valid for one year. Proper documentation required for boarding. Second bag fee $35.
