Skiplagged: Travel Hacks

Find cheap flights, cheap hotels and rental cars you won't see anywhere else. Skiplagged is the original hidden-city flight booking engine. Over 78 million travelers have searched with us since 2013.

"The average person benefiting from Skiplagged quite literally saves almost 50 percent of their ticket price." — The New York Times, November 2024

SKIPLAGGING — HIDDEN-CITY FLIGHTS

A hidden-city flight is one where you get off at the layover, not the final destination. New York to San Francisco might be $300, while New York to Seattle via San Francisco might be $200. If you're going to San Francisco we show you both. This travel hack helps people save $180 on average.***

SELF-TRANSFER FLIGHTS

If your journey includes a layover, splitting it between two tickets is often cheaper. Grab your bags and check in at the next airline's counter.

SEPARATE TICKET ITINERARIES

We find the cheapest one-way flights and combine them into a round trip for less than a bundled return fare.

PRICE HACKER — WE KEEP LOOKING AFTER YOU BOOK

Your ticket is locked in, but we keep scanning. If your fare drops $15 or more, we modify your reservation and credit the difference as airline credit.*

- Automatic at checkout on eligible flights. Opt out any time

- Average airline credit: $84 per trip that gets one. Around 1 in 5 of those save $100+**

NO BOOKING FEE ON REGULAR FLIGHTS

Book regular flights at the fare you see. Add Skiplagged Benefits at checkout to earn travel credit on that flight plus trip backup. On skiplagging flights our fee applies, so benefits are always included.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

*Price Hacker is available on select flights, airlines and ticket types; eligibility is shown at checkout. If your fare drops $15 or more we modify your reservation and issue the difference as airline credit. If the lower fare is secured within 24 hours of ticketing, it is refunded to your original payment card instead. Opt out any time.

**Figures reflect trips that received a Price Hacker credit. Not every booking sees a qualifying fare drop.

***Average savings of $180 per flight based on historical Skiplagged rate comparisons. Savings vary by route, dates and availability. Hidden-city booking is legal, but it may conflict with an airline's contract of carriage, and airlines enforce their own terms. Read skiplagged.com/faq before booking.

Travel credit is redeemable for flights and hotels on Skiplagged when it covers the full price, not for cash; amounts shown are maximums. Skiplagged Benefits are included on skiplagging bookings and available as a paid add-on on other flights. The app uses information for analytics, personalization and advertising.
