Wow... I did not know there are posts about this..

Purchasing a ticket to a point beyond the actual destination and getting off the aircraft at the connecting point is unethical


Well.. I understand different pricing policy of airline companies to maximize their profit.

This is how they do.
Chicago - Orlando... Southwest provides low fare service. Delta wants to compete with it. So DL lower its price.

However, Chicago - Atlanta. Delta does not have to lower the price.

So what happens.

Delta Passenger Chicago-Atlanta-Orland pays $100
Delta Passenger Chicago-Atlanta pays $120

But from airline conpany point of view.
Getting off the aircraft at the connecting point migth be considered as unethical

But from consumer point of view.
Charging more money to people who travel half way is unethical, too.

Yes.. life is unfair...
