Multi-city flight

An itinerary covering several destinations in one booking, rather than a simple return between two cities. It's typically used when a trip involves visiting more than one location before returning home, such as a tour of several client offices. Booking a multi-city itinerary as a single fare can be cheaper and simpler to manage than booking each leg separately.

Multi-city itineraries can take different shapes. A traveller might fly from Dubai to London, then from London to Frankfurt and back from Frankfurt to Dubai. A related type is the open-jaw itinerary, in which the traveller arrives in one city and departs from another, covering the distance between them by train or car. Airlines often price multi-city trips as a single fare, which can be cheaper than several one-way tickets and may combine flights from partner airlines.

Multi-city bookings also come with specific considerations. Because all segments are usually on one ticket, a change to one flight can affect the others, and missing one segment may lead the airline to cancel the rest. Separate bookings offer more flexibility but lose the protection of a single ticket. Beyond flights, a multi-city trip requires hotels and ground transport in each city, and often a more careful approval process because of its higher total cost. Visa requirements and entry rules for each country on the route also need to be checked in advance.

In Tumodo, all flights, hotels, rail tickets and car transfers for a multi-city trip can be gathered in a single trip, with one approval and one travel plan that the coordinator can share with the employee in a click. Rail options across Europe can be combined with flights for shorter legs, and for complex routes the 24/7 support team can help find the best combination and handle changes along the way. Visa assistance is also available through the support team.
