3 Big advantages of open jaw flights

1. Don't waste time doubling back on yourself

Maybe you’ve always wanted to travel the length of Vietnam? Or you want to challenge yourself to navigate around South America, or perhaps embark on an epic road trip from New York to LA? Whatever your reason, 9 times out of 10, you’ll want to see and do as much as possible without the need to backtrack to where you started. Doubling back on yourself to fly in and out of the same airport can be expensive, time consuming and quite frankly make no sense. That’s where an open jaw comes into its own - allowing you to land in one city and fly out of a different city.

2. See more places along the way

Making your own way between flights is a key component of multi-stop flight itineraries. Once you’ve booked your flights, it's entirely up to you how you make your way to your next departure city. You have maximum freedom and opportunity to go where you want, when you want. Whilst flying between two points may well get you there in a few hours (and sometimes that is necessary if you’re short of time or have been somewhere before), you could be missing out on discovering the very best of a country or continent. Meet the people, eat the food and get off the beaten track.

Travelling overland is the best way to get under the skin of a country - this is where a lifetime of travel memories are created. If you find it’s taking longer than expected to travel to your next destination, then many round the world tickets will allow flight date changes, so you’re free to stay longer on that dreamy paradise island or indulge in more iconic sights.
