TRAVELLERS could save hundreds of pounds on their holidays by booking open jaw flights.<\/p>\n
With\u00a0holiday costs\u00a0on the rise, people are having to become increasingly creative to ensure their vacations remain affordable.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And the open jaw flight is an interesting method that could not only be cheaper, but might make your holiday more interesting too.<\/p>\n
"Have you ever heard of an open jaw flight? There's a chance you've already taken one before," travel influencer\u00a0@ColleenYouOut explained\u00a0to her followers.<\/p>\n
"An open jaw flight is simply a flight where the destination and\/or origin of the flight are not the same in both directions."<\/p>\n
An example could be a flight from Chicago to Paris that then returns to Chicago from Munich after getting there by train, car or a low-cost regional airline.<\/p>\n
Whether or not it's more affordable will depend on the airlines you're booking with.<\/p>\n One website that allows passengers to book an open-jaw route is\u00a0Alternative Airlines, who list easyJet and British Airways among the best European airlines to fly open-jaw routes with.<\/p>\n They said: "Open jaw flights can be cheaper. However, it'll depend on the airline that you fly on.<\/p>\n "It may be easier for you to fly with an airline that has a wide selection of routes and destinations."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Open-jaw routes are also great for cities like London where there are multiple airports.<\/p>\n For example, it may be cheaper to fly from Gatwick, but back into Heathrow, or another airport.<\/p>\n Justin Hayward of SimpleFlying said: "Open jaw flights could save time or add more destinations to a trip for a similar price.<\/p>\n "If your travels will take you from one place to another, there is no need to have to return to the same airport."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a money expert revealed how the day you book and the day you fly can impact\u00a0how expensive\u00a0your flights are.<\/p>\n And this dad revealed how he\u00a0keeps costs down\u00a0on his family holidays.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SYSTEM RESET <\/span><\/p>\n
