Skiplagged with international flights

score:4

Accepted answer

It really depends on where you are going and your ticket.

If it is round trip, then all remaining legs will be canceled when you no show for the second flight. Also no showing could inconvenience your fellow passengers if the airline delays the flight trying to find you (since they know you made it to Seoul).

Airlines provide API (Advance Passenger Information) to the governments of some countries and immigration officials have that data. If your layover is in an API country and Immigration doesn't show you as an arriving passenger, your time at the Immigration counter could take a while.

For domestic flights, no showing is not a big deal unless you do it regularly. But for international flights, the airline has more liability, since they are responsible for ascertaining that you have permission to enter the country. And in your scenario, they would have only checked your eligibility for entering the final destination, not the layover country. And while the government would in all likelihood not fine the airline since you bailed out without notice, your name could have a big red check mark next to it for future flights on that airline.

I don't see any problem here, and make sure you go with just carry-on luggage :)

Also it seems that site is not really optimized for international and search with ITA Matrix could give better results.
