'Skiplagging' to save money on plane tickets is only possible because airlines are breaking one of the basic laws of geometry
, one of the basic rules that measure has to follow is that the distance between two points has to be less than or equal to the distance from your first point to some other point and then back to your original second point.
We might expect that airline fares would more or less follow this rule and act as a kind of distance metric between cities. Between fuel, maintenance, and crew pay, it should cost more to fly a plane from New York to Amsterdam, followed by a leg from Amsterdam to London, than it would to just fly the plane from New York to Amsterdam. That difference in costs should be reflected in the price of tickets between the three cities.
