Teen's 'skiplagging' trick leads to canceled ticket and airport detention
TL;DR
American Airlines canceled the ticket of a teenager who planned to disembark at his layover in Charlotte, North Carolina, instead of continuing to his final destination in New York City. The family had to purchase a new direct ticket to Charlotte. The teenager's father booked the ticket using Skiplagged, a website that offers cheaper flights with layovers. American Airlines considers skiplagging a violation of its terms and conditions and has been cracking down on passengers who engage in this practice.
