What unethical ticketing practice involves circumventing restrictions by rearranging departures and returns?

A. Hidden City Ticketing
B. Doublebooking
C. Card Mills
D. Back-to-back ticketing

The correct answer is: D. Back-to-back ticketing

The correct answer is D. Back-to-back ticketing involves booking two separate round-trip tickets with the intention of circumventing restrictions or taking advantage of lower fares. This practice usually involves arranging one ticket to be used as the outbound portion of one trip and the inbound portion of another trip. By doing this, travelers aim to save money or avoid restrictions set by airlines. Hidden City Ticketing (option A) refers to booking a flight with a layover at the traveler's actual destination and disembarking there instead of continuing to the final stop. Doublebooking (option B) refers to booking the same flight or trip twice. Card Mills (option C) involve offering travelers the opportunity to buy airline tickets using stolen or fraudulent credit card information.
