Has anyone gotten a connected flight, far from home, but it connected to an airport near your homw?

Has anyone gotten a cheap flight, thats kinda far from your home, but it connects to a airport near your home? My question is, I want to get a flight that the airport is about 3 hours away. But it's cheaper than the airport near my home., But it connects to the airport near my home, so instead of driving 3 hours I would drive 40 minutes and get on the plane there, is that able to work? Or no? Lol

If you are answering if you can book a flight with connections but only get on the second flight, the answer is no. If you don't get on the first flight, your entire reservation will be cancelled.

That sucks. But thank you!

It sounds like something the airlines have covered in their own favor so that lots of people don't take that shortcut to save money.

No, you can't do that. On the way home, however, if it stops in your city before going to the final destination, you can get off there if you only have carry on luggage.

No, it doesn't work. If you miss the first flight from the further airport, the rest of your itinerary will be cancelled. They do this to prevent people from gaming the fares

No, if you miss your first flight then all other flights on your itinerary will be canceled.

You are talking about "Hidden City" ticketing and airlines do not allow this. Once you fail to board the first flight the rest of your itinerary(including your return ticket) is cancelled without refund.

In your example the only way you could do this is on the return trip, when you transfer at your airport you just fail to get on the last leg taking you to the airport 3 hours away. You of course would not get a refund on that portion, but since it is the last leg you don't have to worry about anything getting cancelled. Oh, but if you do this you also can't check any bags, as any bags you check will end up at the destination airport 3 hours away.

If you miss the first leg of your journey the entire ticket is cancelled

Too bad feel sorry

No
