I'm in love with this: it's my favorite HBS project for FIELD3. Combine two different roundtrip airfares with a "clever layover" to get there more cheaply.
@kanand88 Interesting, I'll have to compare the 2 on a few future trips. I know Hipmunk had giving me several trips before where it added a 2 hour layover to cut my trip in half.
How does rebooking work when the first half of a leg is canceled or delayed and makes you miss the second connecting leg which is on a separate PNR from a non-partner airline? My guess is that the flyer just "missed" their second flight since it wasn't part of a unified PNR so the airline won't rebook and the passenger is SOL. :-)
@davidu We recognize this issue. In the long term, we want to use this to push airlines to work together irrespective of alliances. In the short term, we advise booking an insurance to counter this. On average, we see 30% of searches show an average savings of $230. the insurance for this kind of a trip works out to ~$50. So, you could buy the insurance and still save ~$180.
