What happens if I miss my connecting flight?
Ok, so I'm going to Palermo Italy in a couple of months to visit a friend. It turns out she'll be busy and I don't really have another reason to go there. My flight connects in Rome. What happens if I stay in Rome and just skip the connecting flight to Palermo? Is that legal? I would still go to Palermo eventually and leave from there.1
I can't see why you could not, but make sure your luggage is not being sent on to Palermo2

you need to explain your ticket situation better.If you miss any leg of a multi-flight ticket, you risk that all consequent flights are cancelled. So if you have a ticket X-Rome-Palermo - Palermo-Rome-X then you maye not be able to return from Palermo anymore without buying a new ticket...
Call the airline and see if you can change the ticket.

MTL has the correct approach, the only problem I have ever had with calling an airline is that it is almost impossible to find a phone number. I am luck, I live only a fifteen minute drive from my local airport and I can just go see them. Their labor costs are less if they don't have to have someone answer the phone.But you might try calling a travel agent, they may have some experience in this.
