Open-jaw ticket

An open jaw flight (also Open Jaw Flight, abbreviated OJ ) is a variant of a flight where the passenger does not fly back from the airport at which he has arrived. The destination of the outward flight is therefore not identical with the starting point of the return flight. Fork flights are usually carried if the traveler travels in the target country a distance with another mode of transportation.

An open jaw is also given if the starting point of the journey is not the same as the end point, so for example a one-way from Paris to Moscow, and return flight from Moscow to Lyon. However, a condition for an open jaw flight is that the two different targets - for example, so St. Petersburg and Moscow and Paris and Lyon - are in the same target area.

If both the departure and destination airport upon return flight differently, we speak sometimes of a double open jaw.
