And that happens ?
Suppose you really need to go to Riga on April 30. We go to the AirBaltic website and see that the direct flight from Larnaca to Riga costs 477€.
But if you choose Larnaca to Helsinki, also for April 30, the system may offer you the option to fly to Helsinki via Riga for €420.
Buy the second option and just get off in Riga. Saving 57€. Done.
To clarify, this kind of prank is sometimes only available to someone flying without luggage and one way. ?
