Connecting flights are flights which require passengers to leave the plane and board a different aircraft in order to reach their final destination.
Can you get off a plane at layover instead of destination?
Skiplagging or hidden-city flying is where you get off at the layover rather than the final destination. For example, a flight from New York to Orlando might be $250, but a similar flight from New York to Dallas with a layover in Orlando might be $130.
