A website claiming, “Our flights are so cheap, United sued us … but we won” is facing another legal challenge. This time, it’s not United but American Airlines that has decided to confront Skiplagged Inc., a company that aids travelers in booking itineraries with multiple stopovers where the passenger disembarks before reaching the intended final destination. According to Skiplagged, this strategy can occasionally be more cost-effective than reserving a direct flight.
American Airlines lodged a federal lawsuit last Thursday in the Northern District of Texas. Detailed information about the lawsuit is unavailable due to a paywall, but it’s a major development to track in the travel sector, where legal battles over competitive pricing strategies continue to shape the industry.
