Skiplagged

If you want to travel but have to be in a really tight budget, consider "Hidden city ticketing" and Skiplagged! This is also the reason why this website is one of the most unique flight booking websites out there. Hidden city ticketing is a practice that involves booking a flight with a layover in the destination city one wants to travel to, and then getting off at that stopover instead of completing the journey. Initially, many travelers may consider this practice shady. For example, if someone wants to fly from Boston to Austin but finds the price too expensive, they could search for a cheaper flight from Boston to Houston with a layover in Austin. After reaching Austin, they would exit the plane (Austin being the hidden city).

However, this method only works for travelers carrying only their carry-on luggage and booking a one-way ticket since airlines will cancel the whole reservation for those who miss the second half of their itinerary. Using frequent flier miles for such a trip is not recommended as airlines may deduct points. Consequently, many travelers feel skeptical about this method. Though, it's not illegal, and Skiplagged even has the tagline "Our flights are so cheap, United sued us...but we won." While the site doesn't present any hidden city results, it lists all possible prices for a specific route.
