what is an open jaw ticket?
In the above example, suppose you wanted to drive between San Diego and Las Vegas. You could still get a discount fare. This is called an open jaw ticket. An open jaw is simply a portion of a trip between two flights that is not flown. For example, a traveller from Tokyo may find that she can arrive in San Francisco but depart back to Japan nonstop from Washington, DC, for less cost than buying a separate ticket back to San Francisco to connect with a return flight to Japan. This saves her both time and money. Super popular open jaw segments (not flown segments on a ticket) are between • Calgary and Vancouver to visit the Canadian Rockies, • Denver and Las Vegas to explore the Colorado Rockies, Grand Canyon, and Utah national parks, and between • Los Angeles and San Francisco to drive along the California coastline. You don’t have to take the time to drive back to Denver, Los Angeles, or Calgary, in order to obtain a significant discount.
