| Round trip | Out and back between the same two cities | Most trips; often cheaper than two one-ways |
| One way | A single direction | Relocations, open-ended returns |
| Open-jaw | Fly into one city and home from another | Europe trips, such as into Rome and home from Paris |

Seats, bags and special requests
We add seat requests, frequent flyer numbers, meal requests and wheelchair assistance to the reservation at booking. Paid seats and extra bags are quoted separately and are optional.
Travel documents
Checking passports and visas is your responsibility, but the advisor will flag the common requirements for your route. US citizens travelling to the UK now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation, and most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival.
