American Airlines Has Just Issued A Warning To Travel Agents About ‘Hidden City’ Tickets
Serial airline leaker JonNYC flags that a memo has gone out from American Airlines to travel agents, available on its SalesLink platform, warning them that the carrier is cracking down on a variety of ticketing techniques, including hidden city ticketing and ‘churning’.

No-shows, for any reason, is why airlines oversell and overbook their product, often unsympathetically leaving people behind or screwing with their plans. If airlines just sold their products straight up, perhaps customers wouldn't feel the need to use airline fancy tricks against them
"serial leaker"....prolly should consult your urologist at this point. As another poster said, "Will MacDonald's come after you if you don't finish your fries when order combo #4 because it is cheaper than purchasing separately?" As long as the system is set up for being gamed, it will be. The plane will still be making the trip whether you are on it or not, the seat has has been paid for, in full by you. They are hurt that they cannot sell that empty seat to somebody else at a higher rate.
Who Want to eat McDonalds food?
Same people that want to fly economy on a no-frills airline.
not even a sentence
Seems to me like AA is upset that someone figured out their scam and are scamming them in return. If you inflate prices to scare customers into buying tickets before they get too expensive, don't be upset when the scam turns against you.
It all seems oddly similar to what's going on with Wall Street. Seems like the rich don't like it when we plebs outplay them at their own games. Sore losers the lot of them.
