Multi-City and Open-Jaw Flight Itineraries
Flying into one city and out of another, or several cities on one ticket? An agent builds the multi-city and open-jaw itineraries online forms handle poorly.
Multi-city trips priced as one ticket often cost less than the sum of one-ways and protect your connections. Open-jaw tickets, flying into one city and out of another, are priced like round trips on most airlines and save the backtracking.
Agents also know when a stopover on a Gulf or European carrier is free, and when a separate low-cost ticket between two cities beats the airline's own fare.
Built well, a multi-city trip can cost less than the separate flights and keeps every leg on one protected ticket, so a delay on the first leg is the airline's problem to fix rather than yours. An agent constructs the routing, spots where a free stopover on a Gulf or European carrier lets you see a second city at no extra fare, and compares the through-fare against booking the segments apart.

Frequently asked questions
Is a multi-city ticket cheaper than separate flights?

What is an open-jaw ticket?
A round trip where you fly into one city and return from another, for example into Rome and home from Paris. Most carriers price it like a normal round trip.
Can I add a stopover?
Many international carriers allow a stopover at their hub for free or a small fee. The agent will check on your route.
