- radicality 3y agoSo, I just went ahead and tried it for a sample flight: a 1-way JFK-LAX-(SMF) DL305 departing at 5:00pm Aug 31st, Economy. Skiplagged: $219.10 = $184.20 (ticket price) + $34.90 (Skiplagged Service Fee) AA.com: $184.20 = $148.84 (base fare) + $35.36 (taxes, fees, charges) So, honestly, that's kinda not cool from Skiplagged. They're basically charging you an extra $34.90 which goes to them, even though you can buy the exact same ticket on AA.com with minimal effort, but the checkout page doesn't show that. I get that whoever made Skiplagged wants to profit out of it, but it does feel a little bit dishonest. I dislike subscriptions, but I think a per-month subscription access to their search-engine would "feel" better here, at least for me.
