One way not taking connecting flight
Need to get two 1 way tickets OKC-ATL for my son and I to go see my parents, and drive a U haul back with some of my stuff. Ticketing OKC-ATL is around $600 a ticket 1 way each.....or.....I could buy us 2 1 way tickets OKC-BHM (just as an example) for around $227 each..... Any downside to buying tickets past ATL and not going on the connection, if we don't check bags?
