I am trying to get from Green Bay to Detroit. It is MUCH cheaper to go GRB to Lansing, which is about 60 miles from where I want to be. However, this flight has a layover in Detroit. (go figure!) Is it possible to just leave in Detroit and not continue to Lansing? How will this work on my return flight? Can I skip the Lansing to Detroit portion and just get on my connecting flight in Detroit? I will not be checking any luggage.

From your responses to the OP- I'm guessing this would not be a good idea. I am paying $192 for GRB-LAN and do not want to be charged the $532 for the GRB-DTW flight if I attempt this.

I appreciate any advice from the experts!
You can only skip the last leg of your return flight, if you skip any earlier ones, your reservations for the remaining flights will be cancelled. And as this thread shows, even cancelling the last segment can cause problems!
