Oh, right, I was thinking of skiplagging, which is similar but actually means you book a ticket with your ultimate destination as a connection, and then just don't take the final leg that you booked; so even crazier than split ticketing: https://www.npr.org/2023/08/23/1194998452/skiplagging-airfare-flying-skiplagged-american-airlines
