Ok, let's say I bought a plane ticket that made a stop and change of planes in City A, and then continued on to City B. On the flight home, would I be able to board the plane from City A? Since it would be a different plane, I don't see why not...

I am asking this because my ticket there, it would be easier for me to fly into City B but on my way back, it would be easier for me to leave from City A. This is the cheapest option too. I tried contacting the airline but they keep putting me on hold and said it would take 5 days to get back to me through email.

  1. You can buy your ticket that way, but if you did not then you you must pay fees to change your ticket itinerary.

    If you bought your ticket A>B>C and on return C>B> A.  You cannot get on the B>A flight without first going on the C>B flight.  Once you miss the C>B flight the B>A flight is canceled.

    You can purchase what they call "multi-city" tickets.  A>B>C and your return is B>A.  I just did this recently.  My ticket was Brussels>Chicago>Philadelphia.  The return was New_York>Brussels.  I didn't even have to fly out of Philadelphia or Chicago on my return ticket.


  2. You would not be able to do what you propose -- your ticket will be cancelled and all remaining segments will be voided as soon as you fail to show up for your original flight.  What you are asking to do, in fact, is called "hidden-city ticketing" and is expressly prohibited by most airlines.

  3. If you don't complete your flight, your return ticket will be canceled.  

    You could try to book something called an "open jaw" flight.  Here's some info:
