Cutting short a journey on non-direct flights
If one books a flight from, say, London to New York, the best deals
available are often non-direct and require a stop over in Paris, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt. If one were to book a return flight from London to New York via Amsterdam, and decided to simply get off in Amsterdam on the return leg, would that be a problem? Assuming of course one is only travelling with hand luggage? Would the airline try to charge extra to one's credit card because the journey was not completed? What about the outbound flight? Would it be possible to talk the airport staff in Amsterdam into getting on the flight? |

Return - I suspect that the airline might not do anything (but I might be wrong...). But the passengers on the Amsterdam-London flight might not be too happy if they're delayed because the airline waits for you to turn up. |

They might not be happy, but what are they going to do? I mean really, they do have a plane to catch. More importantly, if they don't have to pull luggage the airline won't hold a flight long. |
