an interesting question: can I get off in one scale and not take all the others flights that are in my reserve?.
A few days ago, a very interesting concern circulated on social networks regarding flights, reservations and scales which I found interesting to answer also in this space, so that more people know and can make an informed decision.
many times to save money, can be found cheaper tickets to fly to a destination, but with one or more scales. The goal is to reach a destination, but buying a ticket to another point. Example: flight of Lima a Miami, with a stopover in Panama, where this scale is really my final destination that interests me, but if you buy up to Miami it's cheaper.
This usually occurs, it's not common, but sometimes you can find a passage to our destination, but it will be cheaper if we buy towards another and stay on the scale that interests us.
Getting off at a layover and not taking the rest of the flight
The question is very specific: I have a flight from X with a stopover in Y and I don't want to get to Z, Can I get off at Y and not continue towards Z??.
Of course! You may want to get off on a scale or not taking the entire flight of your reservation for various reasons, such as a change of plans or an emergency. Nevertheless, It is important to note that each airline has its own policies and rules regarding changes and flight cancellations.
If you want to get off on a scale, It is best to contact the airline with which you have booked the flight to find out their policies and see if it is possible to do so. In some cases, you may have to pay an additional fee for making changes to your reservation.
Can I get off on a scale?
If you decide not to take the entire flight, keep in mind that the airline may cancel the rest of your reservations, especially if you have not informed the airline of your plans to change or cancel the flight. In these cases, you may be charged a fee for changes and cancellations.
Usually, it is advisable to carefully read the terms and conditions of the airline before booking a flight to understand the policies of changes and cancellations. What's more, It is always a good idea to contact the airline directly to clarify any doubts and obtain the most up-to-date information.. Take into account that some airports or countries will not allow it and you would even have to pay an additional airport fee.
as we see, it is possible to do it and we can save some money if we find a flight with these characteristics, but take into account that each airline has different policies and if you do not know them previously, You could lose the entire reservation due to the concept called "no show".
to take into account
Another important factor to take into account are the following points:
- immigration issues: some countries allow layovers, but to leave they could ask you for a visa or other requirements.
- checked baggage: if you checked a suitcase, this will go to the final destination and you would be left without a suitcase when you got off before. ¡Ojo!

The risk of losing the Reserve of the return from the scale to the starting point exists, depending on the airline. If the trip is short, there is the possibility of doing the checkin and that return via Internet as soon as it is open., usually 48-24 flight hours. Said check originates on the return flight from the final destination of the total route. This is how we managed that by not showing up to board at that start and they canceled our reservation x no show, The check-in has already been done and we have our boarding pass on the mobile. Of course, that checkin includes the return flights. I've done 2 times with Cup and it works perfectly.
Very good tips Alfredo, Thanks a lot, It will surely help someone to know what can be done with Copa.
Hello there, before thinking about getting off the plane in Y and not in Z, you should keep in mind that the delivered suitcase will go to Z …. (At least if you will not notify the airline)
Greetings
Good point, this doesn't work if you check suitcase, It would be chaos. Thanks!
