What exactly are multi-city flights? They’re a series of one-way flights with extra stopovers along the way. If you don’t mind spending a little more time traveling, multi-city flights are an easy way to save money on your trip.
Who can book multi-city flights? Anyone! You just have to be flexible with your time. When planning a multiple destination trip, you have to count on spending an extra day or two at some of the stopovers along the way. There are many beautiful multi-city trip destinations you could visit on your trip!
Travelers use multi-city flights to save money on flights while seeing the world.
Online booking sites vs travel agents
The booking process is fairly simple. There are two options – you can either book a multi-city flight yourself via an online booking site or use an expert with years of experience.
Keep in mind that booking complex multi-city flights may include extra baggage checking fees and different luggage-transfer policies when changing airlines.
How to book multi-city flights yourself?
STEP 1. Use Kayak, Travelocity or another search engine to find the price of the regular round trip.
STEP 2. Choose destinations that are technically on your way that you could use as stopovers. Then pick the multi-city flight option on Kayak or Travelocity and start searching.
STEP 3. Look for stops that cost less than 50% of the round trip. If necessary, try changing your travel dates. There’s more chance of finding a cheap flight on weekdays.
The only catch is that to save money you have to spend a lot of time searching for that single lowest fare. Basically, it’s a lottery – you might or might not find that extra leg that will reduce the cost of the trip.
