Open Jaw United Award Tickets

da1 · Jul 13, 2013

Wow just learned about this last night. Basically on United you can have two open jaws on a reward ticket. Example, houston-london, then paris-zagreb, then krakow-houston. Open jaw refers to the london-paris and zagreb-krakow portions where you are responsible for your own transportation. Really cool stuff though can make a trip have 4 cities instead of just 1 on the same amount of miles as long as you keep going the same direction until the return.

Did some research.

Open-jaw ticket
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A sample itinerary for an open jaw electronic ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam, and returning from Munich
An open-jaw ticket is a round-trip ticket in which the traveler does not arrive to the same city of departure and/or does not departure from the same city where he first landed. The path-lines between the airports form an open angle, rather than a closed loop, and the angle resembles an open jawline. This is sometimes called an ARNK (arrival unknown). It is sometimes also called multi-city, but that might also be a ticket with three flight legs forming a closed loop.
In some cases, this type of arrangement is needed for boat cruises that do not return to the departure city. In other cases, the traveler wishes to explore between two points and not have to worry about using time to return to the arrival city. For example, a traveller might fly from London to Bangkok, travel around Thailand by public transport and fly back home to London from Phuket. Another example would be a traveler flying from New York City to San Francisco but then returning to Washington, D.C. Open-jaw tickets are a flexible and relatively inexpensive way of flying, as such tickets are almost always less expensive than purchasing two round-trip flights between the destinations visited.
Another market commonly traveled under an open-jaw itinerary is the one of local one-way tours. Take, for example, a tour of Florida, where a traveler flying into Jacksonville, Orlando, or Miami rents a car or joins a bus tour at their arrival airport, and returns the car or ends the tour in the town from which they will be flying home.
An alternative to an open-jaw ticket is a continent pass, for travel within a continent.

Why would you want an open jaw? Seems like it would hurt.
