This is the saddest attempt to thwart a practice you don’t like. None of it makes any sense. As far as I can tell, having used the service many times though never actually skiplagging, it doesn’t do anything different than any other travel site. Pretty often I’m just redirected to the airline website with the specific flight selected for me. Skiplagged ends up just being an aggregator at that point.

Their reasoning for disliking skiplagging is stupid too. If the person didn’t skip a leg of the flight the seat would be taken and it would cost them fuel. More expenses for them. If they are arguing that they could have gotten more money by having someone actually use the seat for that leg of the flight then perhaps they should change their pricing so skiplagging doesn’t make financial sense for the passenger.

I’ve heard reasons for why things are priced like that but that sounds like a them problem, not ours.
