If I were king, airlines would be obliged to accept hidden city, not cancel your itinerary, and simply charge you a reasonable difference in fare. Notably, I am not king. | |

| Dec 22, 2017 at 22:01 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | @Beska Hidden city and similar pricing anomalies. Just saw a case where Qatar was trying to compete with Emirates' NYC flights, even though their hub is DC. So they price NYC-via-DC flights cheaper than straight-from-DC flights, where they have a monopoly. So if your finish is DC, book Qatar to NYC, and when you clear customs at DC, just don't stand in the security line again for the domestic flight. They cancel the rest of your itinerary, which is only the leg to NYC, who cares. | |
