"For years, I always booked round-trip flights into and out of the same city. It's easy, and I'd always heard that purchasing these traditional tickets was the best way to get a good deal. The more I traveled, though, the more I questioned this approach. Since I prefer visiting multiple places on my trips - it's how I've been able to see 90 countries - I'd spend a lot of time backtracking just to catch my flight home."
"I'd flown into Vienna and visited several nearby countries before arriving at my final destination, Prague. However, as usual, my flight home was at the same airport where I'd arrived. I had to cut my stint in the Czech Republic short and spend more than half a day of my trip traveling back to Austria so I could get to the airport on time. I would've rather spent that time doing almost anything other than retracing my steps and having a stressful day of travel."
Years of booking round-trip flights into and out of the same city produced unnecessary backtracking when visiting multiple destinations. Visiting multiple places forced shortened stays or extra travel time to return to the arrival airport. A Vienna-to-Prague trip required cutting time short and spending over half a day returning to the original airport. Booking open-jaw itineraries or combining multi-city and one-way tickets allows flying into one city and departing from another. Such options often cost about the same or less than standard round trips, and paying slightly more can be worth the saved time and reduced stress.
