Just don't book a round trip, don't check a bag, don't do it too often. Also you're gambling that they don't cancel your flight and book you on a new one to the city you don't actually want to go to (that no longer connects via the hidden city). You can get half price tickets sometimes with this trick.

Here is my go in imperative Python. The base-15 trick is still needed, but the rest of it seems a lot easier to understand for someone reading the code later.
