"Complimentary" flight after my final destination
I just booked my round trip to India from USA with one of the travel agents. Here is my trip
Outbound - Newark - > Delhi - > Hyderabad
Inbound - Hyderabad - > Delhi -> Newark
But I see in the itinerary there is another flight from Newark to Huston (after reaching Newark). I said I don't want that flight since my destination is Newark. But what they said is it is complimentary. I am confused, but after booking with them one of my friends told me there is a possibility your check-in luggage may go to Huston. My port of entry is Newark and I think I can collect baggage there and come out from the airport.
But wanted to check with you guys, is there any problem with the complimentary flight (not sure why this flight)? Can I get my check-in baggage and come out of the airport in Newark?
Best Answer
You will need to collect your baggage when you arrive in Newark for customs purposes anyway, so you may end your journey there.

Do you go through customs at final destination or layover?

This flight may be one of multiple segments of an itinerary involving one or more layovers and/or changes of aircraft. With rare exceptions, every flight you take is an individual flight leg. If you board the plane in one city and get off in another city, that's a flight leg.Can you not take the last leg of a flight?
If you are flying within the USA and have no checked baggage to a final destination, then skipping the final leg of a journey is usually fine. There's no penalty for cancelling (as the missed leg is the end of your trip), and you can just leave the flight with hand luggage without any worries.What is a restricted airline ticket?
