Book Multi-Stop Flights

Multi-city flights, sometimes called multi-stop flights, offer a flexible way to travel to multiple destinations in a single trip. With one booking, you can organize flights between several cities without needing separate tickets for each leg. Think of it like this: you fly from Point A to Point B, from there fly on to Point C, and then circle back home to complete your multi-stop journey. With momondo, you can do all of that in one booking, even using different airlines for different flights.

When flying to multiple international destinations, it’s often cheaper to book your tickets as one complete multi-city itinerary. Airlines typically price their fares to encourage return bookings rather than separate one-way tickets. Plus, you might benefit from airline partnerships or alliances that cover all the routes in your trip.That said, if you’re planning domestic flights once you’ve reached your first destination, budget airlines offering low-cost one-way fares might be a better option. These carriers usually don’t operate long-haul routes or allow for multi-city bookings, so comparing prices is worth the effort.

Most major airlines let you book multi-city tickets, making it simple to include multiple destinations in one itinerary. Thanks to codeshare agreements and airline alliances, your trip could involve flights with several airlines while still being booked as one seamless journey. Among momondo users, American Airlines is a favorite for multi-city airfare. Keep in mind, though, that budget airlines typically don’t offer multi-city flight options. If you’re planning shorter domestic hops, you may need to book separate one-way tickets with low-cost carriers.

Since they're more complex than a standard round-trip booking, there's lots of variance in multi-city trips. That said, the most popular route searched for by momondo users was between New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York.

There's lots of variance in international multi-city trips too. That said, the most popular international route searched for by momondo users was between New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and New York.

An open jaw flight is like a round trip but with a twist: it involves more than two airports. It’s similar to a multi-city itinerary since you’ll visit multiple destinations, but the key difference is that an open jaw flight still works as a round trip. Instead of flying from Point A to Point B and back again, an open jaw flight arrives in one city but departs for the return leg from a different one. Unlike multi-city flights, which include flights between all destinations, open jaw flights require you to arrange travel between some stops yourself. For example, you might fly from New York to Berlin, travel to Munich by train, and then fly back home from there. Or you could fly from Point A to B, then B to C, and return home from another city using a different mode of transport. Both examples fall under open jaw itineraries.
