OPEN JAW TICKET. An open-jaw ticket is an airline ticket in which the traveler returns from a city other than the one he or she arrived at, or in which the final destination is not the same as the original departure city. The trip between these two cities is then made over land, sea or with a separately booked flight. For example, a traveller might fly from London to Bangkok, travel around Thailand by public transport and fly back home to London from Phuket. This is often seen as a more cost effective method than having to always return using the original arrival city and very good for travel flexibility.

The trip between these two cities is then made over land, sea or with a separately booked flight. An 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.
