The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Yup, but this is on the way back - I don't ever need to take that last flight. Must ponder.
It's known as hidden-city ticketing. The airline will charge your card for the fare difference, and make your frequent flier account disappear. It technically violates the contract of carriage, and in extreme cases airlines will pursue legal action. They may also deny you boarding on future flights.
If it were me, I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the risk.
Well, nuts. Thought I had a $209 flight going. Back to the drawing board. But thanks, Maria.
Can you split the difference or something doing an open-jawed itinerary (ie- leave from one and return to the other)?
Doubt it - usually you can't get the super discount fares that way. But I'll check. And I'm still coming out under $300 regardless, so it's not like it's a dealbreaker or anything.
You're welcome, brenda.
Want me to give it a shot? I've got finding cheap flights down to a science. Profile addy is good.
Nah, it's cool.
Because of my scheduling woes (I'm trying to make a wedding in downtown Chicago at 1 p.m. on Saturday), I have to have a direct flight on the return, so there's not a whole lot of options. Two airlines have direct flights that get in early enough for me, so it'll be one of those two, it's just a matter of finding the best way to buy the ticket.
Y'know what's weird? My flight to NO for the F2F. Travelocity offered me a non-stop via American on the way down, but a one-stop flight on the way back via Delta. I took it because the times were good and it was only a little more expensive than taking non-non-stop flights both ways.
But what's up with giving me different airlines each way at cheap prices? I don't think it's one of those dealies where it's an American flight piggybacking on a Delta airplane either.
Maybe they misread the word "thereminist" in your FBI passenger profile data, and just booked you on whatever flights made it easiest to arrest you.

I've booked that through Travelocity before. Prepare to be flagged for additional security check EVERY SINGLE LEG. You see, as far as the airlines know, you've booked a one-way. Even the security guards were griping about having to frisk my 8-year-old.
Amazingly when I went back east in December I was flying on all one way tickets and I didn't get any extra attention going through security. I was expecting it, and then it didn't happen.
