Skiplagged

Skiplagging is the trick to find cheap flights used by the Android app Skiplagged that's all about using as our destination a layover of a longer journey.

Find cheap flights by skiplagging

Among the many tricks to find cheap flights, we find skiplagging, that is, skipping destinations. It consists in buying a flight that goes from point A to point C to destination B. But of course you're only interested in getting from A to B, so you don't care about the route from B to C.

Find cheap flights across the stopovers of a trip

The Skiplagged flight search engine exploits this weakness of airlines, making it possible to find flights and hotels. This saves hundreds of dollars compared to other flight search engines like Skyscanner, Kayak or Expedia. Based on the flight jump trick, this app has the following features:

• Finds flights that other search engines don't show at these prices.
• Uses different criteria to filter the search results: duration, stopovers, departure and arrival time...
• The cheapest fares are displayed daily.
• One can receive notifications about falling prices.
• You can book overnight stays and filter the hotel search by reading travel reports and reviews.

The developers of the app have been sued by companies such as United Airlines and Lufthansa, but are defending the method's legality. However, this implies certain disadvantages, for example, you can not only check in the luggage to the desired destination of the trip. There are also airlines willing to refuse ticket sales to such a customer in the future.
