Wooo! $99 AA flight (Cross country!) Jan15

[MikeSF]

Already booked my flight to Orlando some time ago, I grabbed a flight that leaves at 12:55AM, basically so I can get in Orlando at 9:30 am and I don't lose a day, or I can use the day to adjust to the time. However no return flight, thankfully the days are gone where a round trip flight is significantly cheaper than one-way.

Today I looked at orbitz, MCO to SFO on Jan 15, $99!!!! Geeze, don't see that too often, even managed to snag a flight leaving at 5:55pm so I don't lose that day!

So heads up to everyone, not sure if this deal is SFO exclusive, but I got to imagine it's cheaper elsewhere.

WOW that's a steal $99... I'm flying from SJC which is only an hour from there and the cheapest I found was $350 and that was 5 months ago... Well mine is RT, but still that's awesome.. Good lookin' out

Yeah, it was weird too, there's a stop over in Dallas/Ft Worth, but if you bought a ticket ONLY to DFW it cost over $200, what's to stop someone from just not boarding the connecting flight?

I spent a bit of time trying to research why that price was so low, yet not low anywhere else!

That's called "hidden city ticketing." Most carriers officially prohibit it, and it can only work under very limited circumstances - for example, if you're only traveling one-way (since the airline will cancel your return trip when you don't show up for the connecting flight). And it can also go wrong in other ways - for example, if the one-way flight is cancelled and the airline rebooks you on a nonstop flight to the nominal destination, or a connection over a different city...
