US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Is there anything wrong with this?

I am traveling trans-con later this week through PHL and was wondering...is there anything wrong with not taking the last leg of the trip? To put this a better way, what if anything is wrong with not taking the last leg on the way back. It turns out that I have business in the Atlantic City area, and need to stay there a few extra days. Should I notify USAirways so that they can sell the seat?

jms8090... your message is vague in my opinion. If you could give a better example of your itin. I'm sure a better answer could be given. If I am reading it correctly, if you are throwing away the last segment of a ticket, then no, there wouldn't be any problem.

Sorry for the vague message. Itinerary is as follows:

ISP-PHL-LAX, reverse is same. Want to throw away last seg PHL-ISP. I guess that is what you wanted to know.

No, there's no problem. I wouldn't recommend advising them in advance as you may get an agent who wants to "rewrite" your whole ticket at a higher fare.

But no...you can just do a "no show" for the last segment, or tell them at the gate in PHL that you aren't going to fly

You can do that as long as you do NOT check any bags. They get checked through to the final destination.....

Speaking of which. Had an INTERESTING incident at PHL the other morning. This chap was flying LAX-PHL-BWI. It was quite apparent that he was actually flying to PHL and throwing away the PHL-BWI leg because, to his misfortune, the gate agents or FAs in LAX made him gate check his one big bag. So, he marched up and down the corridor in the F terminal after arriving off the LAX red-eye waiting to talk some US Express gate agent into getting one of the baggage agents to pull his bag off the Express flight.

Saw the same thing happen on a LAX-DFW flight. Someone ticketed to SAT tries to board the plane with a full size suitcase that would never fit on board and insists he wants it checked to DFW.

He never gets back on board...

It's funny, because when I gate check bags they sometimes just take my word about the final destination.
