Questions
What is a fake return?
A return ticket whose journey home starts in another city. Airlines price business class by where a journey starts, so that ticket can cost much less than the one you would normally buy, on the same flights you take. You only board the flights marked as yours.
Is this legal?
Buying the ticket is: it is a real ticket, at a price the airline published or agreed. Some airlines' conditions of carriage discourage skipping flights on purpose, so read the fare's conditions, or ask our desk, before you book.
What happens to the flights I don't take?
They stay on the ticket and you don't board them. Each fare shows exactly which flights are yours and which are not. Where you would join a journey part-way, only our desk books the fare, and it tells you how to travel on it.
Can I check bags?
Usually, yes. The exception is a magic city fare: checked bags travel to the last city on the ticket, so travel with hand luggage only.
Why can the airline's own price differ from yours?
We price every fare live in the booking system airlines and agencies use, a moment before you see it. The airline's site can show a slightly different price, especially minutes later or in another currency.
