“Skiplagging,” also known as “hidden city ticketing,” is a counterintuitive way to book airline tickets to potentially save money. A traveler would book a multi-leg flight with a connection. Instead of flying to the final destination, the passenger opts to disembark at the connecting city.
Any portion of the flight between and up to any two cities would be referred to as a leg. A leg can also refer to an entire flight. Since airlines make multiple flights a day with the same aircraft, each flight can be identified as a leg.
Is skiplagging illegal? No, but it's against most airlines' contracts of carriage or the rules people must follow to fly with the airline. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines both put skiplagging first on their lists of prohibited booking practices.
