I mean, I think the name "open-jaw" tickets is silly, but it's because the flight map looks like Pac Man, but I have been doing this for years.
After visiting 90 countries, I mostly avoid round-trip flights. 'Open-jaw' tickets are way better. www.businessinsider.com/book-multi-c...

After visiting 90 countries, I mostly avoid round-trip flights. 'Open-jaw' tickets are way better.
I no longer fly in and out of the same airport on round-trip flights. With multi-city "open-jaw" tickets, I see more without having to backtrack.

Planning a European backpacking trip? ✈️ Here's a pro-tip: Ditch the city-hopping frenzy. A recent article suggests focusing on just one or two cities to truly soak in the culture & get a feel for local life. It’s all about creating meaningful memories, not just checking off a list! #travel #Europe
