flying open jaw U.S. to U.K.

Janisj suggested flying open jaw from the U.S. to Manchester, if Liverpool is a destination. I hadn't thought of that! I'm planning my next trip to England, and I'd like to do that.

I want to fly from the west coast to Manchester, and return from London. I've never booked a flight on the internet (internationally, anyway), so how do I do that? Simply book two one-way trips? Expedia doesn't seem to accept a one-way trip on their website. Should I go directly to my preferred airline's website?

Since Liverpool is the first segment of my trip, it would be nice to fly into Manchester Airport. I have been to that airport before, and I know that the train station is right next door. That would give me more time in the air, but less on the ground, and more time in Liverpool. Yay!

Thanks.

With expedia.com, click on 'One way trips...', then on the next page select Multiple Destinations from the drop-down box. You can then search for flights into MAN and back from LON.

Hi M,

Also try www.kayak.com.

Click "multi city".

Do NOT book 2 one-ways! This will be very expensive. You can look at travelocity (or expedia) for price comparisons, using the multi-city option. Or you can use Kayak.com which also has a multi-city option.

I always check the airline's site of whatever comes up in the searches as they usually have the best prices. Almost all the airlines have a multi-city search option now (even BA!).

I use Expedia all the time to check open-jaws,and I naver check "one way trips". You check multiple cities (or something like that) right from the start.
