an interesting question: ¿I can get off in one scale and don't take all the othersás flights that are in my reserve?.
Días atráto circulateó on social networks a very interesting concern regarding flights, reservations and scales that I looked likeó interesting to answer tooén in this space, so that theí más people know and can make a decisionón informed.
many times to save money, can be found passages sás cheap 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 Panamaá, where this scale is really my final destination that interests me, but if you buy to Miami it is más cheated.
This usually occurs, it's not likeún, but sometimes you can find a passage to our destination, but beá máIt's cheap if we buy from someone else 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, ¿I can 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 keep in mind that each aerosolínea has its own policiesíethics and rules regarding changes and flight cancellations.
If you want to get off on a scale, It is best to contact the aerolínea with whom you have booked the flight to find out their policiesíethics and see if it is possible to do it. In some cases, you may have to pay an additional fee for making changes to your reservation.
¿I can get off on a scale?
If you decide not to take the entire flight, Please note that the aerosol mayínea cancel the rest of your reservations, especially if you haven't informed the airlineíyour 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 téterms and conditions of the airlineíbefore booking a flight to understand the policiesíchange ethics and cancellations. Además, It is always a good idea to contact the airline directly.íline to clarify any doubts and obtain the informationón más updated. Take into account that some airports of wallíyou won't allow itán the tenderíso even pay an additional airport fee.
as we see, It is possible to do it and we can save someún money if we find a flight with these characterístatic, but take into account that each aerosolínea has different políethics and if you do not know them previously, couldías losing the entire reserve due to the concept called as “no show”.
to take into account
Another important factor to take into account are the following points:
- immigration issues: some paíare allowed to stopover, but to get out you caníto ask you for a visa or other requirements.
- checked baggage: if you checked a suitcase, is goingá to the final destination and you will stayíace without a suitcase when you get 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)
