Okay, thanks. What about if I wanted to do the same thing, but going from Halifax to Portland, and throwing away the second portion of the flight (the part from Newark to Portland)? In other words, I buy the ticket for myself from YHZ to PWM, get off the plane at EWR, and throw away the EWR to PWM portion? That would work, right?
