you could purposely miss the flight and pay for a new ticket or something when you arrive, but try too contact the airline to see if you could just change the second leg of the flight to a few days later. or just cancel the flight and re-book it as 2 separate flights

If you've already bought your ticket, your choices are limited. You can try to reschedule your flight which may or may not be changeable and normally requires a fee and possibly any difference in fares or depending on the restrictions on your present ticket, cancel and get a refund. It's probably best not to skip your flight, call Virgin America and ask them what your options are and how much the costs is, then make your decision.

Don't plan on NOT paying any extra costs! Airlines are struggling to make $$ with the cost of fuel increasing daily. If you lay over and leave the flight with an empty seat, that costs the carrier money. If you want to stay over, contact the carrier and see what their fees are. Delta stuck me really good once when I laid over an extra night in New Orleans. They popped me for $375 or so for a 1st-class ticket up to Atlanta the next morning! I almost croaked! CHECK WITH YOUR CARRIER!!!
