Skiplagged Opinons? Experiences?

I'm a little late discovering this plane ticket service. Apparently there are caveats to the low price tickets. Anyone use this? What was your experience like?

That is something I know I wouldn't want to be a part of..  It may be legal but I'd be pissed if my flight was held up because a passenger didn't show and we waited for them. 

 

"In addition to revoking elite status and invalidating frequent flyer miles, an airline has every right to refuse you service, bump you from future flights — whatever revenge they see fit."

 

You may never be able to fly on that airline again if you are flagged...Definitely not worth the potential savings.   Prior to your post, I'd not heard of it.   Thanks for sharing.

I have used it. It feels a little strange when you do it. Like I am being a bit of a criminal. 

I used it to fly from PDX to Phoenix. I booked a flight to Honolulu. Which was really hard to think about not getting on the next flight. My price was $980 to fly direct and $325 with skiplag. It was hard not to do it. Skiplag did not have a deal going back. So you should not expect that you can work it out each time. 

It was a work trip and getting miles is one of the perks of being away from my family so I wouldn't do it regularly, but for a personal trip I would definitely look at it. 

The airlines bust your balls all the time. Heck, they are trying to counter this trend but not allowing carry ons for many of their flights. Bastards. I feel no guilt using this once in a while.

We are watching the neighbor's dog while they go on a cruise.   They used Skiplagged and flew from Grand Rapids, MI to Orlando for a little over $200.   They are returning in 10 days the same airline again for a reduced rate.

If the airline lets them. :D

The airline will always win in the end...
