I am traveling from new orleans to memphis. It is cheaper to fly to columbus($159), with a stop in memphis

I am traveling from new orleans to memphis. It is cheaper to fly to columbus($159), with a stop in memphis?
than it is to fly just to memphis($359). I don't understand this craziness. Would it be legal or ok for me to fly to memphis buying a columbus ticket? I would just not use the connecting flight to columbus, OH. I just don't know what would happen on my flight back to new orleans...I would be leaving from memphis instead of columbus....Any one have experience with this? or is it worth the trouble? Should I pay $200 more ?

It is cheaper because there is probably more competition with fares on the route to Columbus while there is less competition on the flight to Memphis (thus the higher fare). If you don't show up for one leg fo your journey the other legs will be canceled so I would definitely warn against it.

your best bet is to just call the 800 number or email them from the site... you know there are weather-delays, right? depending on the destinations, flights are cancelled or delayed everywhere mother nature will always be a factor!

It is the airline's responsibility. You have to call the airline you flew with.

Well, the "airport" isn't responsible. The airline may be. You don't give nearly enough information to sort out what happened. Did you start out in Memphis, or make a connection there? What flight did you miss? Why? Where else could it be? It could be wherever you started out from. Or Cleveland. Or Memphis - if you haven't been any clearer in telling them what you're missing than you have in telling your story here, they might not know it's your bag they have. Or it could be anywhere your airline (I'm guessing NWA/Delta, right?) flies. Or, as you say, someone could have stolen it.

When you checked your luggage in, they were supposed to give you a receipt/claim check for it. Many times these days, this is in the form of a sticker that they put on the envelope your boarding pass is in. It has numbers and codes on it. You need to call the airline you originally checked in with and deal with their lost luggage department. They'll need the information on your claim check.

As RoofingPrincess says it is the airline you need to contact and not the airport itself. My lost luggage came within 24 hours the two times that it didn't arrive on the same flight as me.
5 :
Not the airport's responsibility but the airlines. And if you did check it, you would have gotten a baggage reciept, especially if you had to pay a checked luggge fee.

once you are in the airport (as for a connecting flight) you don't have to go through security again (unless you are coming from out of the country). Unless your first flight is delayed significantly, you should be just fine with almost 2 hours between flights.
