This makes no sense!
I was on-line trying to book my flight for a conference in Charlotte NC. The fare to Charlotte with two stops was over $400. So I notice my usual flight to Florida that I take to visit relatives with a connection in Charlotte was at least $100 less. So I called a reservation agent with USair and asked if I could just book the Florida flight and not take the connecting flight from Charlotte to Florida saving $100. She said no it would void the ticket and I would have to pay a $150 re-booking fee. That makes no sense whatsoever! I think they are just gouging passengers needlessly as fare should be cheaper if it were shorter flight or allow an unused ticket portion without penalty!
