'Throwaway ticketing' is risky flight tactic that could save you money but comes with consequences

A flight passenger recently revealed in a post on X that he saved hundreds of dollars by using a rather "risky" hack.

Mike Bolen, a real estate investor based in California, has garnered more than 6.2 million views on his social media page after sharing this "wild" way to buy a plane ticket.

Bolen discovered that instead of booking a nonstop flight to St. Louis for $564, he could purchase a flight ticket to Atlanta with a layover in St. Louis for only $198.
