We're the original hidden-city flight booking engine. More than 78 million travelers have searched with us since 2013. "The average person benefiting from Skiplagged quite literally saves almost 50 percent of their ticket price." — The New York Times, November 2024 WHAT WE FIND THAT NOBODY ELSE SHOWS YOU SKIPLAGGING (HIDDEN-CITY FARES) Sometimes a flight that connects through your destination costs less than a flight to it. Book the longer itinerary, get off at your layover, and skip the last leg. This travel hack helps people save $180 on average.*** SELF-TRANSFER FLIGHTS When your trip has a layover, splitting it across two tickets is often cheaper than one connected fare. You collect your bags and check in again at the next counter. SEPARATE TICKET ITINERARIES We find the cheapest one-way flights and combine them into a round trip, sometimes across two airlines, instead of a bundled return fare. PRICE HACKER — THE SAVINGS DON'T STOP WHEN YOU BOOK Your ticket is locked in, but we keep scanning. If the cost of your flight drops by $15 or more, we modify your reservation and send you the difference in airline credit.* - On by default for eligible flights. Nothing to set up, no extra cost, opt out any time - Your confirmation number, seat and baggage allowance stay exactly the same - Average credit: $84 per trip that gets one. Roughly 1 in 5 of those save $100 or more** NO BOOKING FEE ON REGULAR FLIGHTS Book regular flights at the fare you see. Add Skiplagged Benefits at checkout to earn travel credit on that flight plus trip backup if something goes wrong. On skiplagging flights our fee applies, so benefits are always included. - $10 when you sign up - Up to $25 on every booking with benefits added — always included on skiplagging flights - Up to $25 every time a friend books through your link - No points, no tiers, nothing to decode. Just travel credit to spend on flights and hotels FILTERS AND FARE ALERTS - Filter by duration, layovers, takeoff and landing times - Set fare alerts and let us tell you when to book WHAT PEOPLE WRITE ABOUT US "Airlines may not be fans of 'skiplagging,' but travelers who use it to save money on flights surely are." — CNBC "...skiplagging offers an opportunity to stretch travel budgets further." — Forbes ONE SEARCH, EVERY FARE Skiplagged searches hundreds of airlines — United, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Alaska and more — plus the hidden-city itineraries most search engines never show you. Compare fares from partners including Skyscanner, Kiwi, FlightNetwork and Gotogate to see where it's cheapest. Hotels and cars too. 4.8 stars from 330,000+ App Store ratings. NEW TO BOOKING THIS WAY? Hidden-city itineraries work differently from an ordinary ticket. Read how they work first: skiplagged.com/faq We'll always show you every option, so YOU can pick the deal you want. IMPORTANT INFORMATION *Price Hacker is available on select flights, airlines and ticket types; eligibility is shown at checkout. If your fare drops $15 or more we modify your reservation and issue the difference as airline credit. If the lower fare is secured within 24 hours of ticketing, it is refunded to your original payment card instead. Opt out any time. **Figures reflect trips that received a Price Hacker credit. Not every booking sees a qualifying fare drop. ***Average savings of $180 per flight based on historical Skiplagged rate comparisons. Savings vary by route, dates and availability. Hidden-city booking is legal, but it may conflict with an airline's contract of carriage, and airlines enforce their own terms. Read skiplagged.com/faq before booking. Travel credit is redeemable toward flights and hotels on Skiplagged, not for cash; amounts shown are maximums. Skiplagged Benefits are included on skiplagging bookings and available as a paid add-on on other flights. The app uses information for analytics, personalization and advertising.
