Advice please - ex-EU BA holiday and the last leg of the trip
Hope someone can advise if there is any difference with not taking the last leg from London to EU when booked as a package on BA holidays from Europe.
We had intended to travel back from London to the EU city (and have a hotel and return flights booked) but are very tired and would really like to stay in London. Our flight is into LHR and to Europe from LGW and our bags tagged to LHR.
I know the general consensus on a normal ticket is ok if you don't do it often but does being part of a package holiday make a difference? We have never not taken the last leg of ex-EU fares and feel a bit guilty thinking about not taking this last leg.
Grateful for adice.
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Can someone please add the answer to this question as a sticky?? It seems to get asked at least once or twice a week.
No, Beelzebub and his satanic horde aren't going to haul off your firstborn for not taking a flight. You aren't going to be deprived of avios/TPs and BA's internal Stasi aren't going to interrogate you when you sneak out of lhr. Willie Walsh won't even strike you off his Christmas card list. It's ok. Be naughty. Miss that flight. Go on: I dare you.

Slightly OT
I just fumbled into this article. Its about a guy getting sued by Orbitz in the US for setting up a search engine specially for dropping your last leg in order to save money. Not sure if it has been posted before.
