Thank you so much for your interest in Skiplagged for iOS. Skiplagged is the only airfare search engine to not only find tickets where your destination is the final stop, but also any stop leading up to some other destination.
Why the latter? As part of the pricing model of many airlines, they would sometimes charge less for tickets where your destination is a layover rather than the final destination. This is price discrimination that has to do with being competitive in the industry. At the end of the day, what you would be doing here is purchasing more of a service than you need for less. There are some caveats though:
(1) no checked bags because they'll end up at the final destination [carry-ons are okay]
(2) must book two one-ways for round-trips
(3) shouldn't associate with frequent flyer programs
(4) there is risk of airlines removing your actual destination from your itinerary during times of irregular activity such as really bad weather
(5) you may be violating the contract of carriage for some airlines. Keep in mind that as the consumer, you have all rights to partially use the services you are paying for, so these trips are completely legal.
The savings are sometimes substantial (e.g. 80%), but it's up to you to decide whether they're worth it.
In addition to providing this transparent service, Skiplagged provides features like:
(1) seeing the cheapest destinations for almost any combination of departing airports and dates
(2) showing the prices of tickets for dates near your searched date(s)
(3) monitoring how the price for any search fluctuates every hour
(4) receiving alerts when the price of a search is near your reservation price
All of this is completely free and always will be. Some of the features may only be available on our desktop website right now, so for the full experience, check out skiplagged.com.

Kind Regards,

Fraudulent

How does this app have such high reviews??? If you read through the 1 star reviews you can see that their coders clearly have no idea what they are doing. Grossly negligent errors. Hiding the breakout of fees on the “confirmation “ and they have removed any mention of a support number to call. I paid for seats and luggage on this app but when the reservation transferred to Priceline (why???) it came over as just the total cost of the flight and I had to buy them again. I guess I should be grateful that I didn’t get stuck somewhere like some of the other reviewers. Interesting that the “developers “ only respond to the mild cases here. You should not be in business.
Horrible Customer Service
so many excuses
Recently booked flight airline changed departing time . Skiplagged would not change flight without a fee to accommodate the original time . After hours on the phone with a representative and her child screaming in the background they may have it fixed . Live and learn cheaper is definitely not always better . Next time oh wait there won't be a next time .
