hidden city
Concealed urban area
Hidden city is an airline booking strategy where a passenger buys a ticket with a connection in their actual destination city, then skips the final leg because the connecting flight is cheaper than flying direct.
Airlines prohibit the practice and may penalize travelers who use it: I saved three hundred dollars with a hidden city fare, but I couldn't check a bag.
