Travel Tips
"Open Jaws": Exploring The World Your Way
Posted by: Alex Snead (Director and Founder of Jetabroad)
Dream holidays, business trips, long haul flights... we know they're often not as straightforward as taking a flight from A to B and back again, but sometimes it can seem almost impossible to book any other type of return trip. With Jetabroad you can explore the world your way.
In travel jargon it's called an 'Open Jaw'. What this means to you is the ability to create a more flexible trip without blowing your budget. Jetabroad lets you choose which city you want to fly into, jet out of and even touch down in. These can all be completely different destinations and still part of one low-priced return fare.
Example One: Destination Open Jaw
Travel with a twist. Have you ever considered a cross-country land trip across Europe or the United States? Why not fly to Los Angeles, hire a motorhome and see America from sea to shining sea, then return to Australia from the East Coast.
Or fly to Madrid and Eurail your way across Europe returning from Budapest.
Example Two: Origin Open Jaw
You're on a business trip to Adelaide at the start of your holiday and don't want to return to Sydney to catch your international flight. With Jetabroad's Open Jaw feature, you can depart from Adelaide and return to Sydney on the one fare.
Example Three: Double Open Jaw
If your plans are even more complicated, try our double Open Jaw feature. With some fares, you can depart from one city in Australia, arrive into one international destination, then return from another international destination to a different Australian city from the one where you started your journey (e.g. Adelaide to Los Angeles then New York City to Sydney).
To check availability and pricing of Open Jaw return flight options, just select ‘Depart from or arrive into a different city’ when you search for a flight.
At Jetabroad, we know that your travel requirements are as individual as you are. It is our firm goal to meet your unique travel needs while saving you time and money.
