Open Jaws tickets on the internet.......

All of them! I've used orbitz, travelocity, expedia, the airline sites, etc. and all of them have a button to click to book a multicity itinerary.

Sometimes you have to select the "Advance Search" button. But they all do it.

Breton,
Just last month I purchased my ticket on Priceline.com flying into Paris, France and out of Brussels, Belgium!...as stated in the previous posts, most sites give you this option. Good luck and do this with time as prices tend to change quickly! Happy Travels.

And sometimes open jaws are cheaper. This past May/June we flew into Rome and home from Zurich for $200 less per ticket than a round trip to Rome. Should always check open jaws options.

Thanks, I did end up finding all of those options. Sadly I am not having any luck, all the options I put in are treating each way as a one-way so I end up with a trip costing twice as much. I'll keep playing with it though. Thanks.

I use those travel sites to shop around, but I ALWAYS book directly with the airline. Should your plans change, it is much easier to deal directly with the airline.

Don't use the "one way" option when checking fares. Try "Multi City" instead. At least it works on AA.com.

we got our open jaw tickets at a great price on Kayak.com!

Another issue you may run into is that the two airports you choose may not be served by the same airline or alliance, in that case, tickets will cost more. Try picking cities based on being served by a common carrier, or try a consolidator site (airgorilla.com or airlineconsolidator.com) since they can more easily package tickets.

You can also compare prices with a round trip, if you are concerned that you are being charged excessively. Typically Open jaw tickets are priced the sum of half the round trip price to each city. So you can check that way, or just compare to the round trip price of the cheaper leg (London, Paris, Frankfurt/Munich, Amsterdam, are all major gateway cities and generally cheaper) with cities the further East and South being more expensive.

Hi Breton,
I'm going to Europe in Sept. and have booked an open jaw ticket arriving into London and departing from Zurich. We used www.studentuniverse.com to book the ticket. If you're 26 or under, it's a great resource!! We also looked at using expedia.com, priceline.com, and others.

Good luck and happy travels!

Just be sure you use a "Multi-City" option. It's often available through advanced search.

You should see a stack of several fields into which you can enter your departure and destination pairs For instance, if you are flying to Paris from Seattle, and back from Amsterdam, you'd enter Seattle/Paris in the first field and Amsterdam/Seattle in the second.

I'm flying Boston to Heathrow and then Gatwick to Raleigh-Durham later this year. That's an open jaw. I booked directly with the airline because its price was no more than the other travel sites and because I can deal with them directly if something goes wrong.

Breton, are you using the "Multi-City" option, rather than two seperate one-ways? Have you expanded your search time frame? i.e. I have always used Orbitz, and then put my flights into their 30 day window option. (they check your flight prices over a span of 30 days. Sometimes the DAY you picked will NEVER result in cheap tickets. Open up your options. )Next, you tell them what reasonable price you would like to pay, and they send you an Email when your price is met. When they do find a flight, do like John says, and book directly with the airline.

Also look the option of flying into and out of the same city, but use a cheap inter-European airline to get you back to your return flight. That is how we just did our June trip to Rome. Found a cheap flight to Frankfurt, and super cheap flights to Rome and back. Frankfurt, London, Munich, etc. all have lo-cost airlines available.

Next, go see a travel agent! What can you loose? Sometimes they can find deals that you NEVER will find!

I find Orbitz.com has the most results and covers the more obscure airports.
