San franciso to Las Vegas

Dr Devious

With Aer Lingus you can fly to San Francisco and return by Las Vegas for about 100 quid cheaper than flying direct to San Francisco,(or Vegas) If I brought carry on luggage only would I be able to get out at San Franciso where there is a layover of about 2 hours, or would I be blocked from doing this. Obviously I would make my own way to Vegas and reconnect with the return flight home.

No you can't do this. If you miss one leg of the flight the following legs will be cancelled. This is to discourage people from doing what you are suggesting. It doesn't matter for point-to-point airlines like Ryanair.

Actually you can if you use the Multi City option https://www.aerlingus.com/html/planPage/multi-city.html

I have flown into San Francisco and out of Newark countless times booking this way

I don't know if that is what the OP is doing. Their post is a bit confusing.

If you mean would you be physically able to leave the terminal then yes, you would.

But would Aer Lingus allow me on to the originally booked return flight from Vegas or would I have to book another flight.

I would have thought so but people here are suggesting that you can't but that seems overly strict.

That loophole about booking a flight beyond where you're going has been around for years but it still doesn't seem contractually legal that they can penalize you on your return flight on a later date. Who knows what emergency may have caused you to deplane in SF.

I'm no expert on airline policy though, you could ask a travel agent?
