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.

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.

No. When you don't get on the flight in Flint, the rest of the reservation will be canceled and your ticket worthless.

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.

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.

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.
