Don't airline companies really frown upon this practice? I can't recall if they can actually do something about it though.

FYI doing this is a great way to get your mileage balance cancelled if you're a frequent flyer.

I have just been looking at tickets to the US. My intent was to stop for a few days in Japan or Malaysia, and book the first and second leg separately.<p>I checked flying Tokyo-&gt;Minneapolis and was given a few prices, in the $1100 range without having to rely on sprint etc.<p>I then checked KL-&gt;Minneapolis and got a price for $700 that flew first to Tokyo with AA. When I tried buying just the Tokyo-&gt;Minneapolis leg for the same flights I was quoted $4000!<p>Airplane routing and pricing is really unclear and deliberately opaque.<p>While I am glad this service exhists, it reminds me of early SEO and search engine wars. If this gets popular enough, this loophole will be closed.

You require me to share on Facebook before you show me flight info? That&#x27;s a great way to get me to close the site and never come back, never mind all the other risks associated with hidden city travel.

Interesting hack, but it means that you can&#x27;t check any luggage. That&#x27;s a non-trivial drawback.

The site doesn&#x27;t work for me -- maybe it&#x27;s overloaded. I shared on Facebook and it just gets stuck confirming forever.

This looks great. Any plans to open it up to international routes?

holy crap this is so awesome. I&#x27;ve been on a kick to try to hack the shitty experience that is flying domestically in the US, this is very inspirational.

Only if you don&#x27;t have any checked baggage!
