Have you noticed over the last few years how many billionaires have popped up out of nowhere? We remember times when our parents told us in hushed terms that our neighbor “Mr. McDermott is a millionaire.” We were afraid to talk to him. Boy, have things changed. The net worth of the world’s billionaires increased from less than US$1 trillion in 2000 to over $7 trillion in 2015 and rising. That’s just a few years ago! We won’t belabor these stats as we don’t want any of our lovely readers to have an aneurysm.
So, we were a little perturbed to learn that one of our affiliate friends, Skiplagged, were being sued by American Airlines for “Fraudulent Hidden City Ticketing.” That’s rich. So, who are Skiplagged and why are the Big Boys coming after them? Skiplagged’s unique selling proposition is a good one, and a fair one in our eyes. Here’s how it works. “Skiplagged finds flights the airlines don’t want you to see. We’re exposing loopholes in airfare pricing to save you money. They show you flights airlines don’t want you to see.”
They also show you the cheapest regular flights. Who wouldn’t love that? They’re called a “Skiplagged rate” and it can save you up to 50%. They expose inefficiencies in airline pricing, such as hidden-cities, to find you deals you can’t get anywhere else. As they proudly say “We have ridiculous travel deals you can’t find anywhere else. Our flights are so cheap, United sued us… but we won.” To find some rather great deals with Skiplagged, click here.
