The article discusses 'skiplagging', a trend in travel where passengers book flights with a layover to save money, often resulting in substantial discounts. For instance, travelers have saved thousands by booking indirect flights, revealing the potential for significant savings as airfares rise. Start-ups like Skiplagged assist in finding these deals. However, skiplagging faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit from American Airlines. Despite this, demand for flexible, cost-effective travel options is increasing, particularly among younger consumers who prefer last-minute bookings and smarter fare comparisons.
American is pleased the jury recognized the need to protect its customers and its business from unscrupulous practices.
The amount of money that can be saved using skiplagging varies. Passengers recently saved $10,716 on tickets from Tokyo to New York City.
