Skiplagged

Skiplagged is a robust flight search engine that specializes in discovering low-cost city flights. Purchasing a hidden city fare, also known as point-beyond ticketing or skip-lagging, is when you purchase a ticket to a location that is further than where you actually intend to go. Your ticket indicates one destination, but the place you intend to visit is a layover location along the way. You arrange a ticket from A to C with a layover at B, intending to stay in B.

Skiplagged discovers fares that may be less expensive if you end your travel in the layover city. Getting affordable airfare when you don't have a certain destination in mind. Skiplagged's homepage gives you forthcoming sample fares, and it provides an option to search flights to "Anywhere". Skiplagged allows you to filter by regular or secret city, take-off and landing time, stops, and carriers. You can sign up for alerts when low-cost flights become available. When you're ready to book, Skiplagged gives you the option of booking two separate one-way flights, which you'll always have to do until the leg of the schedule you want to skip is on the way back.
