I'm thinking to drop off the last leg on return - YYZ - DTW and purchase YYZ-EWR. It will save me an overnight in DTW and a 5 hr layover. I've bugged out on the last leg of a domestic but never intl before, any issues I'm not seeing here? I know I could be subject to schedule changes this far ahead as well, or not so much on this itinerary...? My DL $0 holy base fare from God EWR-LIH has had 4 schedule changes so far, and it's not until Sept...so I'm skittish.
I'm so lost on the mileage earning potential here and how/where to even credit it. I'm AC/Air Macau/ANA. A dropped leg would forfeit any miles? Any info appreciated.
I'm going to pimp my trip and try to BRG my DTW/NGO nights, if I get anything valid I will share in the DO thread.
I wouldn't worry about it. You'll get the miles, except for the last segment -- which wasn't going to earn much anyway. And United (assuming that's who you credit to) isn't even going to know you dropped it.
People hidden city all the time.
