Five Little Known Secrets to Snagging the Best Airfare Deals

Hidden City Ticketing

Utilize ''hidden-city ticketing'' - it's a booking maneuver where travelers get off a stop or two before the ticket's final destination. The only condition: the layover city must be the actual target destination. However, you need to consider certain factors. First, it works best with one-way flights, as airlines could cancel the remainder of an itinerary when passengers don't board at a layover. Second, travelers can't check luggage as it ends up at the final destination.

Despite these limitations, for the savvy, flexible traveler, hidden-city ticketing can result in significant savings. Websites like Skiplagged help find these 'hidden city' flights.
