I have a situation where I'm trying to get to a particular city and then leave from another one a few weeks later. I've discovered that I can cut the fare in about half if I book a straight roundtrip fare to the city I want to ultimately leave from as opposed to trying to work in that first other city via an open jaw deal. The quandary is that the cheap round trip fare makes a stop at that initial city I'm trying to get to. Being an unexperienced flyer I was wondering if booking the much cheaper roundtrip fare and just jumping ship on the way over and then picking it up again on the return trip later is a major no-no or if it's not that big a deal. The airline is Tarom if that makes any difference. I was kind of hesitant to call them and raise any alerts in case they are extremely touchy about such a practice. Not sure why they'd be too upset since they were compensated for the seat whether I'm in it or not.
