skiplagging

The practice of booking a flight itinerary with a layover, but the layover site is actually the intended destination, rather than the final destination booked in the flight itinerary. Commonly used as a workaround to pay less for airfare.

While technically not illegal, airlines can sniff it out and punish those who do it, with punishments ranging from revoking frequent flyer miles to outright bans from the airline.

Jeremy got banned by Delta when they caught him skiplagging his Newark > Chicago > Seattle flight when he took his trip to Chicago.
