Flying Question
 

I have a question and I hope someone can help me out

I was looking at some airfares to some places like Memphis and Salt Lake City. Well if i book a flight from MCI to Dallas it's 135 with a layover in Memphis on NW
But if I book a flight from MCI to Memphis it's 288, so my question is, can i just book the MCI to Dallas flight and get off in Memphis and not take Dallas Connection and the same on the way back

I was just wondering if you can do this

I have also found cheaper airfare to SLC by doing this

Short answer is "no"

Once you skip the MEM-DFW leg, the airline will cancel the rest of your reservation

Thanks for the help

You can delete this thread now or whatever they do

No need to delete. Others can likely learn from the thread and it'll be available via a search.

You might want to post in the particular airline forum you're interested in flying for ideas on how to get the cheapest itin.

You could also play around with the ITA software and see what you can come up with: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/cvg/dispatch/
