Really good help there - not rambling at all 😀
Although I have heard of the phrase open-jaw I have never really known what it means Is there any special ‘ open-jaw’ discount ? Or do you just put the flight dates / destinations into the likes of BA / kayak / skyscanner and they work out the best combos ? ( I have historically thought that doing a return flight is cheaper than two singles - is that still the case ? And does that apply by doing these so called open jaw flights ? ) Is there any benefit to booking all 3 flights say in one transaction/booking rather than say booking one when you see a good price , booking the second when you see a good price for that and the third when you see s good price for that ? Sorry I’m such a novice 😂😂 Ps really interesting that adding a hotel and car can make it cheaper - would never have thought of doing them together

Open jaw to me is one transatlantic from point a to b. Return c to a.
I get this as part of the package. Because c-a is usually indirect essentially it means that you can use the off peak business routes across the Atlantic rather than the so called bucket and spade routes which are much more school holiday price dependant. The others don't change so much during the year. If internal flight is essentially an indirect flight ie fly transit fly all on the same day then I would always book a through ticket. If the stopover comes into play not so much need for a through ticket or for the domestic leg outbound to be booked at same time but can do. I tend not to as I find the internal legs often cheaper with JetBlue, southwestern or any of the internal us carriers. Most of which (other than AA) are not accessible for BA to package up. I don't think I have paid more than £100 for any internal flight, most are around £70 or so if book on release (bit like easyJet/Ryan air market). Check luggage allowances though if taking hold luggage. Some you will need to make sure you get a hold luggage ticket eg JetBlue plus for the internal domestic leg if buying separately. Others use trains. I haven't got that advanced yet ! Return ticket indirect is always a through ticket for me as part of the package. Have a play with customise your trip. Edited at 09:41 PM. |

Wow, thank you so much for taking so long to put that together - it is so helpful. 2 years ago we done a cruise and stopped at Rome, I put together a Google Map that was 18km long and we walked it! (my wife hated me for it afterwards!) so using the subway a bit definitely makes sense.
Thank you! |
