Duplicate Question from Airline Board to Europe forum (because your board is not asleep!)
forgive me for posting this on the "wrong" board, but I have peeked in on this forum and it seems that some of you, at least, are either pilots or former pilots. You may be able to answer my question:
I am trying to make plans to fly from the east coast to Los Angeles. The ITA software shows a great flight to San Francisco via a two hour LAX layover. What happens if I fly to Los Angeles and simply get off the plane there? No checked luggage, obviously. But would I have to let the airline know I wasn't traveling on because of some "problem"? Yes, before you say anything, I know airlines do not condone this practice. But they should realize that, if a person can save $100 off the cost of a flight by not even taking the last leg, somebody's going to try it. The question is, how much trouble does it cause? "

Would this be your first portion of your flight? Will you have a round trip ticket to fly home to the east coast from the west coast? Or is the ticket from the east coast to the west coast going to be a one way ticket?

thank heavens someone is up. Thank you, because I need to buy this ticket tonight, if I am going to. No, this is the last leg of the trip, so I wouldn't be nabbed on the way back. But I don't want to do this if it will cause some kind of security tag on my name because I got off a plane and didn't continue.
