A 22 year old kid created an app (Skiplagged) that, according to CNN Money does the following:
Skiplagged helps travelers find cheap tickets through a strategy called "hidden city" ticketing.
The idea is that you buy an airline ticket that has a layover at your actual destination.
Say you want to fly from New York to San Francisco. You book a flight from New York to Portland with a layover in San Francisco and get off there, without bothering to take the last leg of the flight. Sometimes, that can save you money. Flying this way isn't always cheapest, but it often is.
