How can they even find out? You just go down with the other people who paid the direct trip there. Do they keep track somehow?

They know who's aboard the plane and aboard any connecting flights. Not sure if they'd be able to tell if it was one where you stay on the same plane the whole time, but those aren't as common IME.
