Skiplagged makes use of a notion in travel known as "hidden cities," which is less well-known. What is this? The idea behind hidden cities is to take advantage of price inefficiencies in the tourism sector by playing on market forces. For example, disembarking in an intermediate town rather than traveling directly to the destination creates a distant city. What's the point? Taking a trip from A to B, especially if B is a prominent location like New York City or Los Angeles International Airport, will cost more than taking a flight from A to C, where C is a less well-known destination, but deplaning at B.
