On a flight with multiple stops, can I skip the first flight and get on the second

On a flight with multiple stops, can I skip the first flight and get on the second?
I was recently sent an airline ticket that goes from Flint, MI to Detroit, MI to Washington, D.C. - which sounds awesome, especially since I didn't pay for it or book it. The problem? I live in Detroit. Flint is an hour and a half away. So, I was wondering, could I skip the Flint to Detroit flight and just get on at DTW? Your answers are appreciated.

Call the airline.
2 :
No, you cannot -- as soon as you fail to show up for the FNT-DTW segment, the remainder of the ticket automatically cancels. Calling the airline and asking them to change it will require the entire ticket to be re-issued, which will require you to pay the applicable fare difference and change fee for the change.
3 :
No. When you don't get on the flight in Flint, the rest of the reservation will be canceled and your ticket worthless.
4 :
As soon as you are a "no-show" at the start of the itinerary, the rest is cancelled! Yes, cancelled. And most likely: LOST! Unless you cancel in-advance.
5 :
You need to contact your airline to change ticket if that's possible.( sometimes not as cheap ticket non-refundable ) When changing flights there is always a charge - sometimes a very expensive charge. Do not turn up at Detroit without speaking to airline first all your ticket could be invalid for the whole journey.
6 :
No, as soon as you do not board the aircraft in Flint, the entire flight reservation to include any return flights are automatically cancelled. This is not an airline rule, this is Federal Law.

Instead of wasting time here, why not go to an airline website and ask them?
2 :
I couldn't tell you the exact price, but from experience, Expedia.com offers some of the best rates ANYWHERE! Another helpful hint: You get the cheapest airfare if you buy a ticket for either a Tuesday or Thursday departure. =)

close to 4hrs. including taxi time at both airports.
2 :
The scheduled non-stop flight time from Detroit Metropolitan Int'l airport (DTW) to Las Vegas McCarren Int'l airport (LAS) will depend on your choices of airlines. Flight duration will vary from 4h 25min to 4h 32min. - Northwest Airlines has 4 daily non-stop flights with flight times of 4h 26min to 4h 32min. - US Airways 2 daily non-stop flights with flight time of 4h 25min and 4h 28min. - Spirit Airlines also has 2 daily non-stop flights with flight time of 4h 25min and 4h 26min. The actual flight time will depend on the winds, speed of the aircraft and the actual route the aircraft flies.
3 :
If it's a nonstop flight than approximately 4 and a half hours.
4 :
if non stop, it should take about 4hrs

You might have better luck looking for two separate flights. No doubt you can find a cheap one to London. Then you can find a cheap one from London to Oslo

This of course depends on when you want to fly. I found the following options for well under $1000 flying roundtrip mid-week in February (I chose dates at random and ended up with Wed 18 Feb / Tue 3 Mar): Continental (via Newark)... $783 Northwest (via Amsterdam)... $841 KLM (via Amsterdam)... $844 Lufthansa (via Frankfurt)... $847 Air France (via Paris)... $916 SAS (via Chicago & Copenhagen)... $964 [taxes/fees included, all listed on Orbitz] Unfortunately, if you want to fly on a weekend in September, it looks like $1008 is probably the best price you're going to find: $1008 roundtrip on Lufthansa/SAS flying Fri 19 Sep and returning Sun 28 Sep, connecting in Frankfurt: LH487, SK3644 / SK4755, LH 486 listed on Vayama. Another option you might consider is using a flexible search to find cheap flights to one of the European gateway cities (esp. London or Frankfurt) and then using http://www.skyscanner.net to search the European low-cost airlines (i.e. RyanAir, Sterling, Norwegian, etc) to find an inexpensive connection to Oslo. Just keep in mind that the discount airlines often have very low baggage limits and you may have to switch airports, since the low-cost airlines usually fly to a city's smaller airports. (FYI - Sterling and Norwegian fly to OSL, but RyanAir flies to Torp, which is a 2-hour bus ride from Oslo.)
