Question
I live in Cincinnati and need to travel to Phoenix next month on business. In trying to save money, my company wants me to fly out of IND.  There is a layover on the way back to IND at CVG. Is it OK to get off the plan in CVG and not make the final leg to IND?  Thanks!

Answer
Dear Frank,

Yes you can, but you won't be able to fly again with the same ticket. Please advise ground staff that you have "an emergency" (they can fill your seat with other passenger)and make sure that you do not check bags.

Best Regards,
