Does anyone know if you can outbound throw away the bus portion (I live 20 min from PHL so dont want to go to AC or Lancaster or some other place). ~60K in F vs ~20K in F
No, you cannot throw it away. It would be just like missing your first flight. A boarding pass is issued and scanned for your bus portion... it even shows up in the AA app with a seatmap. It has a flight number attached. Other than being on a bus, it's treated exactly like any flight.
