Multi-city Trips

Instead of returning from the same city you flew into, you fly into one and out of another — or chain several cities together. Travel pros often call the two-point version open-jaw travel.

• Avoid backtracking to your arrival city just to fly home
• Build better city-to-city itineraries
• Ideal for multi-country trips
• Works well combined with rail or other ground legs
• Lets you combine nearby airports at each end

This is not the same as a normal round trip. Open-jaw and multi-city routes carry their own state — an outbound into one airport and a return from a different one, sometimes across separate tickets — so they shouldn't be forced into a standard round-trip search that assumes you come back from where you started.

The main search already includes a Multi-city tab for basic multi-leg itineraries. Dedicated open-jaw planning that weighs airports, ground legs, and ticket types together is being prepared.

• Rome in, Milan out
• Bangkok in, Phuket out
• Tokyo in, Osaka out
• Barcelona in, Madrid out
• Vienna in, Budapest out

• Whether it's one open-jaw ticket or two separate one-ways
• Baggage rules, especially across separate tickets
• Visa and entry rules for each country
• Which airport you return from, and how to reach it
• Final availability and fares on partner sites
