Can I expect seats to open up between EWR-JAX?
Option: I can get a OW SW $49 flight from ISP-MDW, take my $223 MDW-EWR-JAX fare and just get off in EWR on the return since I live in NYC. Is that wrong?
Orbitz did not help me and I am too proud to call a travel agent a beg them to 'break' the married pairs for me.
Sure, you could throw away the last segment. Just make sure that the airline short checks any checked baggage you may have to EWR. Also, you may want to just check-in as far as EWR and make up some excuse saying that you're going to meet up with a friend there and will check-in again with him at that time.
