Does the Skiplagged web site check if round trip is cheaper?

On the Skiplagged site, I put in a one way (BCN - CLT) and the only flights under $750 were over 40 hours! The I clicked "round trip" and it gave me many 15 hour flights for under $750.

Is the Skiplagged site faulty in not checking to see if the round trip is cheaper, or is that documented somewhere that it's up to the user to check the round trip.

The site seems to be all about throwing away air travel legs, so why not throw away the entire return ticket if it's less expensive and more convenient than the one way?

Can you get caught using Skiplagged?

Yes, even the Skiplagged website itself warns against using this method often. Airlines could suspend your frequent flyer account and seize your miles like United has threatened, or worse. Some travelers who have used and abused this tactic have been sued.

Why are flights cheaper on Skiplagged?

Skiplagged works by displaying the original price to reach a destination. So if you want to fly from Minneapolis to Atlanta and prices are sky high, Skiplagged may show you a flight from Minneapolis to Orlando that goes through Atlanta as a stopover. Voila! You reach your intended destination and pay less.

Do flight prices change based on web browser?

Surprisingly, there is very little evidence that online travel sites are raising prices the more that you search for a specific trip. In fact, they tend to show lower prices to logged-in users.

Do flight prices go down the closer you get?

Specifically, plane tickets usually don't get cheaper closer to the departure date. Instead, flights tend to be the most inexpensive when you book between four months and three weeks before your departure date. According to the CheapAir.com 2019 Annual Airfare Study, you can expect rates to go up after that period.
