Well if you miss the first leg, it'll be pretty difficult to use subsequent legs anyway.

- ceejayoz 4y agoNo, people used to do this a lot deliberately because of airline pricing oddities. You'd book from your home airport --> your destination --> Tiny Airport X, then skip the second flight, because the price would often be much cheaper that way.

- dwaite 4y agoI had a family trip where it was suddenly required I show up two hours earlier, and the original airline didn't have a flight that would get me there. I booked a one way ticket on another to make it work, then was surprised when I tried to return home that I no longer had a valid ticket for the first. Of course, they'll helpfully offer to let you buy a one-way ticket at the counter, 90 minutes before departure, at maximal pricing.
