Ever wondered how to book an open-jaw flight ticket and make the most of your travels? If you’re all about exploring more without the hassle of doubling back, we’ve got some top hacks that could be just the ticket.

Open-jaw flights are the key to more adventurous and flexible travels! Imagine starting your holiday in one city and finishing it in another, all sorted with a single, convenient ticket. Right, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of open-jaw flights.

How Do Open-Jaw Flights Work?

An open-jaw or multi-city flight is a sweet deal where you touch down in one city and bounce out from another, with your return flight taking off from somewhere different than your original landing spot.

Let’s say you’ve booked a flight from London to Nairobi (that’s your first “jaw”). After living it up in Nairobi, you’re itching to see more, so you jump on a train to Mombasa. There is no need to trek back to Nairobi for the return leg; you just book your flight from Mombasa straight to London (and that’s the second “jaw”).

Why Choose Open Jaw-Flights?

If you’ve never gone for an open-jaw flight, we’d say it’s worth trying. There are plenty of good reasons we’re all for it, and we’re confident you’ll be well impressed.

1. Save Time and Money

All this talk about open-jaw flights might sound a bit iffy, especially when some reckon they can save you cash and time. But trust us, they do!

First up, they’re a money-saver because these flights mean you can dodge the extra flight fees. Perfect if you love a good long-haul adventure. During your trip, instead of splashing out on flights to hop between places, using public transport is usually way easier on your bank balance.

And for time-saving, it’s a no-brainer—you don’t have to leg it back to your starting point. If you’ve drifted well away, flying home from your final destination is a total lifesaver. Why waste time doubling back when you can zip straight home?

2. Explore Multiple Destinations

We know that a holiday only feels proper when you’ve maxed it out. You’ve forked out the money to plan it, so why not cram each day with stuff you want to do? Well, let us tell you, with open-jaw flights, it’s doable to nail everything on your itinerary.

They’re bang on for seeing more sights, ticking off more bucket-list items, and having more adventures. Why shortchange yourself when you can do more with a lot less hassle?

3. Offer Better Flight Deals

Let us spill the tea: airlines often sneakily slash prices on multi-city flights, but to get the bargain, you’ll need to snap up bundled deals.

What does that mean? You can nab both your outgoing and return flights for a tidy sum, all in one swoop, rather than booking them piecemeal and paying through the nose. Now that you’re clued in, go on give it a whirl!

How Do You Book an Open-Jaw Flight?

So now you know how wicked multi-stop flights can be, we bet you’re itching to give it a go (and see if it’s as banging as other folks rave about). Scroll down to find the guide that fits you because we’ll walk you through it step by step.

How to Book an Open-Jaw Flight to Save Money

Just because you have plenty of time on your hands doesn’t mean multi-city flights aren’t a win for you. They could be a proper treat for your wallet, so why not book one? Have a look at this guide to get started!

1.
Fire up the Traveloka app or website.
2.
Rather than selecting a standard round-trip or one-way flight, smash the “Multi-city” option.
3.
When booking your trip, pop in the city code to search all the airports in the area. For instance, if you’re flying out of Los Angeles, use “LAXA” to cover all the LA airports. The same goes for where you’re headed—just whack in the city code. So, if Tokyo is your stop, “TYOA” will include all the Tokyo area airports.
4.
Add in any stopover cities or places you plan to visit en route. Let’s say you’re flying from LA to Tokyo and then heading back from Osaka—just chuck those cities into the search. And remember to use the proper codes, like “OSAA,” which covers all the Osaka airports.
5.
Click on “Search Flights” and let Traveloka do its thing. Traveloka will serve up choices tailored to your multi-city route.
6.
Select the flights that work with your timing and budget. Double-check they fit your split-ticket plan.
7.
Please review your itinerary to ensure it’s correct. Then, follow the steps to complete your booking.

How to Book an Open-Jaw Ticket to Save Time

If you want to save time with open-jaw flights, the steps are similar to before. This time, you’ll need to be sure of the exact airports you’ll be using. So, with that in mind, let’s crack on and give it a go.

1.
Open the Traveloka app or return to the website. This time, make sure you select the “Multi-city” option to include all your destinations.
2.
In the first box, enter the airport code for where you’re taking off from. For example, if you’re starting in London, you’ll want to use “LHR” for Heathrow or “LGW” for Gatwick.
3.
Add an extra line for your return flight by typing in the code for where you’re off to next. For instance, if you’re flying out of Rome, just use “FCO” for Fiumicino Airport.
4.
Are you bypassing the train for a quick flight between flights? Just pop that in! If you’re off from London to Paris, enter “LHR” and “CDG,” then add your flight from Paris to wherever you’re headed.
5.
Scour prices and flight times to find the speediest route. Also, consider layovers, non-stop flights, and the distance to the airports from your final stop.
6.
Please check your itinerary quickly to ensure it’s all sorted, and then finish up your booking by following the on-screen prompts.
7.
Once you’ve locked in your booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all your itinerary and ticket details.

And there you have it—now you know how to book an open-jaw flight ticket with ease using Traveloka.
