Skiplagging can save money, but flyers can have their flights and miles canceled. They won't be banned from flying for life though, says Skiplagged's CEO.
Airlines may not be fans of "skiplagging," but travelers who use it to save money on flights surely are.
"In our 11 years of existence, I've never heard of anyone being banned for skiplagging. Anything that you read online about someone being banned is just a rumor," said Zaman.Zaman explained why some connecting — and thus longer — flights are cheaper than flying direct. He said, for example, that flying from London to Boston, with a stop in New York, can be cheaper than flying direct to New York.
During the trial, evidence showed that American Airlines does not have a no-fly list for skiplagging customers, Zaman added.on how to safely skiplag — with Zaman's key message to flyers being: do it sparingly, and vary the carriers you fly. On top of that, Skiplagged.com only books one-way tickets, said Zaman, to avoid customers having their return journeys canceled after they fail to complete their outbound flight.
