While 99% of us assume Google Flights, Expedia, or Orbitz are the cleverest ways to find the best deals on air fares, 22-year-old New Yorker Aktarer Zaman found his own way — and he has the world’s biggest airlines running scared. Zaman built a little website which generates zero revenue, but is sending epic waves through the headquarters of United, American Airlines, and others, simply by taking advantage of these airlines’ biggest and best kept secret. The secret is what’s known as “hidden city” airfares, and CBS This Morning met up with Zaman who explained how his website has instantly become the biggest threat to the airlines’ bottom line, and the newest best friend for frequent flyers looking for a great deal. You can find your own deal by visiting Zaman’s ingenious website at Skiplagged.com. (Photo courtesy of Flightster).
