Abstract:
Hidden-city ticket is an interesting airline ticket
pricing phenomenon. It occurs when an itinerary connecting at an intermediate
city is less expensive than a ticket from the origin to the intermediate
city. In such a case, passengers traveling to the intermediate city will have
the incentive to pretend to be traveling to the final destination, deplane at
the connection point and forgo the unused portion of the ticket. Hidden-city
opportunities are not uncommon nowadays. |
