In other words, you won't be able to board your return flight at Salt Lake City. An alternative would be to book two one-way flights, one from home to San Francisco, the other from Salt Lake City to somewhere beyond home. However, one 1-way ticket can be a lot more money than a round trip! Two 1-way tickets would be ridiculously expensive. Robin P.

In these super-twitchy days as well, if you leave a flight early would you then be under suspicion of leaving something (eg explosive) behind on the plane? Here, with rail travel, if you buy a cheaper ticket to somewhere else and stop (or start) short, your ticket becomes invalid and you have to pay the full price plus often a fine on top of what you have already paid. Several families have found this to their cost.

Re: [lace] RE: participation in Lace conferences - flights
It would work if you only have only carry-on luggage. If you check a suitcase, it would not come off at the midway stop. Or you could mail your luggage ahead. I usually have too much stuff for a week of lace classes to fit in a carry-on. And... I have to allow room for the things I acquire during the week. Yes it would work, at the check in say you are getting off at the first stop on your way through to the final destination. And you simply do not do the second part of your trip.

[lace] RE: participation in Lace conferences
There have been a few posts about airfares and how expensive they can be. The New York Times ran an article on how to save money on fares. Check out flights that have more than one stop, with one stop being your actual destination...i.e. this year's IOLI convention. Say you live in Cleveland, OH, find a flight with one stop in Salt Lake City, then it goes on to San Francisco. Sometimes you'll find that booking a 1 stop flight from Cleveland to San Francisco is a lot cheaper than a flight from Cleveland to Salt Lake City. More info here...http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/magazine/mag-08subversion-t.html?_r=2scp=2sq=hidden%20city%20ticketingst=cse; Not sure of how the airlines would view it, but it works.
