Skiplagged.com is an online travel agency and metasearch engine for booking flights and hotels. It popularized the tactic of hidden city ticketing,[1][2] also known as skiplagging.
History
The website was started by Aktarer Zaman in 2013, when he was 20 years old.[3][4]
In November 2014, United Airlines and Orbitz filed a civil lawsuit for $75,000 in lost revenue, claiming that the website violated fare rules.[5] The Orbitz lawsuit was settled out of court, in which Skiplagged agreed not to redirect traffic to Orbitz sites or use Orbitz branding.[6] The United lawsuit was dismissed by the courts on procedural grounds.[7] United did not pursue further legal action.[8] Donors contributed for legal expenses via GoFundMe.[9]
In 2021, Southwest Airlines sued Skiplagged for displaying the airline's fares.[10] The lawsuit was settled out of court.[11]
