I found a flight that has a connection in Japan that’s cheaper than a direct flight to Japan. Is it legal to take that cheaper flight and leave the airport at the layover location as our final destination? Will they prevent us from taking the return flight?
It’s not illegal but there are plenty of problems you can run into and caveats. You can’t check bags since they always go to the final destination. If you get round trip tickets they may cancel your return flight. If you purchase them separately there’s less risk. They could ban you from future flights. Probably a couple things I’m missing.
