European flight prices for US travelers are currently at an all-time high – with an eye-wateringly expensive average of $1,167 per ticket – and in a bid to save dollars, ‘skiplagging’ has reemerged as a popular travel trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The concept works like this: A passenger books a flight<\/a> from Point A to Point B with a stopover at their desired destination, and doesn’t board the connecting flight to Point B. This often results in substantial savings on tickets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For example, Skyscanner says a roundtrip flight from New York to Amsterdam in mid June with the Dutch<\/a> flag carrier KLM will cost from $2,457.<\/p>\n However, readjusting the booking by setting the final destination as London<\/a> with a layover in Amsterdam and using two different airlines, brought Google<\/a> Flight’s roundtrip price down to $1,208.<\/p>\n
