I have read about the airline's problem with people buying RT flights for a one-way trip, and the issues with that. But here is what I'm planning:
I am flying outbound from city A to B, and then returning from city B to city A,connecting in city C (where I live). I plan to just get off the plane in city C, abandoning the last leg of the return.
What are the (i) potential and (ii) likely repercussions, if any? Can or will I lose my FF miles or EQM for the trip? If it matters, I do have elite status. </font>
The LIKELY repercussion is that nothing will happen. The only downside is that you'll have to "suffer" as a non-elite for the trip, since you won't want to use your FF#.
The POTENTIAL repercussion is that they could freeze your FF account. Unlikely because if you don't use your FF account for the flight, their IT people probably don't go digging too hard looking for you. Especially if you aren't a habitual offender.
