I just helped a friend with a flight from LAX to New Orleans.

I found him a one way $122 fare and booked the flight from LAX to Houston Hobby. This flight stopped in New Orleans before backtracking to Houston.

The same flight with just the LAX to MSY portion was close to $200.

Go figure that one out.

Because hidden city ticketing is technically breaking the Contract of Carriage with the airline. So they do have the ability to enforce penalties or ban you from the airline should they desire.

Your friend does know that if he checks a bag in LA it will end up in Houston right? Tell him to only bring a carryon bag
