Not take connecting flight what will happen?
Okay, so I'm trying to go to Greenville, SC from Orlando, Fl but the tickets are too expensive to get that close so it's going to go to Atlanta instead which is over two hours from Greenville, the thing is the plane is stopping in Charlotte, NC first to change planes then go to Atlanta. However Charlotte is 1 hour and 40 mins away from Greenville so it's much closer than Atlanta. I tried just having the plane go from Orlando to Charlotte but it's more that way for some reason. So if I just bring a carry on and don't catch the flight to Atlanta and get off in Charlotte what would happen? Should I tell them? I heard you can lose your ticket back if you do this, but I think it's ridiculous they want to charge forty dollars more for the same flight.

As long as you don't check baggage ...you should be fine...They will delay a flight and remove luggage if you fail to show for a flight...Other than that...No you should not loose your ticket back..It's a separate ticket...Take Care Good Luck

You can do that. BUT... When you do not show up for the continuation flight of the booked itinerary - ALL remaining segments will be canceled. That means that if you have a round trip ticket, your ticket will no longer be valid when you want to return, and you will have to buy a one way ticket. Airline pricing is a bit of a mystery, and airlines do not like people to book a flight then get off part way to the destination. That's why they cancel the rest of the ticket - to prevent you from doing exactly that. Pay the extra money.

Yes, you will lose the return ticket. When you don't show up for one flight, all subsequent flights booked on that itinerary are canceled. Airline pricing can be odd, and it's hard to figure out the reasoning behind it.
