The site finds cheap flights by using a method called “hidden city” ticketing, which involves finding flights that have layovers to your target destination. If you wanted a flight from point A to point B, for instance, the site would search for cheaper flights that take you from A to B to C. You’d take that cheaper flight and get off at point B.
Unfortunately, United Airlines and Orbitz royal star tour deluxe are pissed and filed a civil lawsuit last month against Zaman. In their complaint, they said Skiplagged was “unfair competition” and is promoting “strictly prohibited” travel. They also want $75,000 in lost revenue from the 22-year-old.
“Use of hidden-city ticketing can save a lot of money, and airlines aren’t in the business of promoting, allowing or turning a blind eye to practices that can break the system down Small corporate travel departments occasionally employ it, too, risking the loss of fare discounts they enjoy. Still, some can’t resist paying $400 for a ticket using the technique if it would cost $1,200 the traditional way.”
He also says he’s made no money from the website and that all he’s doing is helping fellow travelers get better prices by exposing a flaw in how flight prices are sold, something that a lot of frequent travelers have taken advantage of for decades.
Skiplagged s sole purpose has always been to help you become savvy travelers. We have been doing that by exposing pricing inefficiencies for air travel, among other things. Unfortunately, we have been doing too good of a job so United Airlines and Orbitz recently teamed up with a lawsuit to get in the way. Everything Skiplagged has done and continues to do is legal, but the only way to effectively prove this is with lawyers.
