Well thanks to a lawsuit from United Airlines and booking site Orbitz, you do now -- the airlines are suing a site called Skiplagged , which arranges "hidden city" connection discounts. Here's how it works: airlines often charge more for popular routes like Chicago/Paris than for less popular, but much longer, multi-connection routes like Chicago/Dubai.
