Passport check for Hidden City Ticketing where only final destination is international

If it’s American Airlines, you will have to provide your Passport details at some point before or during check-in. I always have.

You don’t have to enter them online, but even if you use the kiosk at the airport, it will ask you to scan your passport.

No one at the A gate will ask to see your Passport, will I’ve never been asked.

There is no way to short check bags. And you can’t do this round trip.

It may not be “always, everywhere, everyone” but so far¹ I have had to show my passport to somebody every time. And if you check in bags, you could have a hassle retrieving them in your “hidden city.”

The chance of the airline coming after you for the price difference is extremely small, but legally possible.

¹Over a dozen airports in nine countries, including a few where the next stop was in the same country. And in USA, TSA always wanted to see it.

So now we know the OP is starting in the United States and flies to Canada. There is a passport check at the gate in B. There is just no other way to do this: people starting from B with an online / automated check in will meet a human at this point only. Passport checks are always at gate and not at check in.
