In United Airlines Inc. et al. v. Zaman, Case No. 1:14-cv-09214 (N.D. Ill., E. Div., complaint filed November 17, 2014), United Airlines and Orbitz sued to prevent Aktarer Zaman and his Web site skiplagged.com from helping flyers find “hidden city” tickets that the companies claim undermine their profits. Hidden city ticketing involves booking a layover and purposely missing the second flight, a practice that can save travelers money but is forbidden by many airlines, including United. Among the stated concerns is United’s resulting inability to count passengers, which affects fuel calculations and causes delays. The complaint alleges that Zaman “intentionally and maliciously” interfered with industry relationships by “promoting prohibited forms of travel.” It includes claims for unfair competition under Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a), tortious interference with contract, breach of contract, and misappropriation. Zaman argues the site merely organizes publicly available information and that skiplagged.com receives no compensation for tickets purchased.
