Question about booking flight to different city than destination city [duplicate]

I was searching flights to Paris, and was shocked how much they were. But I can fly to Russia, with a layover in Paris for nearly half the cost.
I know if I book to Russia I can just not get on the flight from Paris to Russia, but the question I have is how to fly from Paris to home when the originating city would not be Paris? Does it matter that I wouldn't be on that first flight?

Best Answer

1) If you check your bag, it will not be available in Paris. Ooops.

2) If you ask to check it only to Paris, they will know your plan and charge you the difference in airfare. Ooops

3) If you use carry on bags only and skip your flight from Paris to Moscow, you will be marked as a no show and the balance of your booking will be cancelled. Ooops.

4) In all three cases when you check onto your first flight they will want to see your Visa to enter Russia. Ooops.
