  1. aeronauticsA traveller who disembarks at a "hidden city" rather than continuing to one's ticketed destination; one who practices skiplagging.

    Typically, a skiplagger books a less expensive flight that has two or more legs rather than buy the more costly direct flight. But it’s a connecting city – not the final city of the flight – that has been the skiplagger's covert destination all along.
