Given that mainland departures are often cheaper than direct flights from HKG, has anyone tried ditching the final leg of that flight? I see that there is a 500 RMB "no show" fee in the T&C, but I don't know if it refers specifically to this, and/or if the airline would even charge it.
More specifically, I want to do:
Guangzhou / Hong Kong
Hong Kong / LAX
LAX / Hong Kong
Hong Kong / Guangzhou
-- since I don't actually want to end up in Guangzhou, i'd happily ditch that final leg. Anyone tried?
