I have a flight with 3 stops, the last one in Atlanta, before I arrive at México.

I was planning to stay a couple days in Atlanta, so I won't use the last connection.

Since the cost to change the ticket is expensive I would rather to buy a new ticket just from USA to Mexico.

My question is, should I notify to the airline about this? Immigration in USA could see this action like suspicious?

The airlines will not care; they might call out your name a few times - but they will consider you a no-show.

As far as immigration is concerned, as long as you have a valid visa for the US, they also do not care.

So, the answer to your question is:

  1. No, you don't have to notify the airline.
  2. The immigration will not have problems. They might ask you why you stayed, and if so, you should just tell them the truth.

The only thing that raises eyebrows is if you pay cash for a one-way ticket at the last minute. So, try to pay for your final trip online with a credit card or book it through an agent.
