Hidden-city flight search
Fly for less by getting off at the layover
Sometimes a ticket that connects through your city costs less than a ticket that ends there. We search for those fares so you don't have to.
How it works
1
Tell us where you're going
Say you want New Orleans to Denver. A regular ticket might cost $300.
2
We look past your city
We search flights from New Orleans to cities beyond Denver, like Seattle or Salt Lake City, and keep only those that connect in Denver.

You get off at the layover
If New Orleans → Denver → Seattle is only $180, you book it and simply leave the airport in Denver.
Before you book a hidden-city ticket
- Carry-on only. Checked bags travel to the ticket's final city, not your stop. Bring a bag small enough to fit under the seat, since overhead space can run out and agents may check your bag to the final city.
- One-way tickets only. If you skip a flight, the airline usually cancels the rest of your ticket, including any return flight. For round trips we search each direction as its own one-way ticket.
- Plans can change. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline may rebook you through a different city, and you'd end up somewhere else.
- Airlines don't allow it. Most airline ticket rules prohibit hidden-city ticketing. It isn't illegal, but airlines can cancel the rest of the trip, remove frequent-flyer miles, or close loyalty accounts. Use it occasionally, and consider leaving off your frequent-flyer number.
- Always double-check. Prices change quickly. Confirm the price, flights and connection city on the booking site before you pay.
