Will I get charged a fee if I no longer need a connecting flight?
I booked a ticket from Atlanta, Ga to Williamsport,Pa with a layover in Philadelphia, PA on us airways. The fare was $175. Now If I booked just the flight from Atlanta to Philly the fare was $216. My question is will I get charged a fee if I try to change my itinerary to just end in Philadelphia. It just seems crazy that it is cheaper to fly from Atlanta to Philly, to Williamsport then it is for that same flight to Philly.

You'll probably get a fee + the difference in price... If this is just a one way ticket then just stop in Philadelphia and just loose the Philly-Williamsport. But if you have checked luggage, they will check them to your final destination so make sure you bring only a carry-on with you. If its part of a round-trip, don't skip a flight, they wont let you board the next one without a recalculation IF your ticket is changeable. The fare may be cheaper to Williamsport because less people fly there from Atlanta than to Philly. They're promoting the destination with a lower price, and Atlanta to Philly, they can charge more since it's more popular.

If you want to change your destination from Williamsport to Philadelphia, you will have to change your ticket, which will require the payment of any applicable change fees as well as the difference in fare. As was already noted, you could not simply fail to board your flight to Williamsport -- your checked luggage would continue on the second flight, and your return ticket would be cancelled.

If it's only one way, then I doubt you'll be charged a fee, but you should only take carry on luggage to avoid your checked luggage ending up in Williamsport. If it's a round trip, your return will be cancelled and you'll be listed as a no show.
