What is an open-jaw trip?

An open-jaw trip is characterized by a journey in which a traveler departs from one city and arrives in another city, but the return trip is not back to the original departure city. Instead, the traveler may choose to fly back from a different city. This flexibility allows travelers to explore different destinations without the need to return to the initial point of departure.

This definition aligns with option A, which describes a round trip where the traveler does not return to the original destination. The concept typically applies when a traveler starts from one city, visits one or more other locations, and returns from a different city, allowing for a more varied travel experience.

While option B mentions multiple destinations without returning to the initial city, it doesn’t capture the specific nature of the trip returning from a different point. Options C and D focus on the modes of transportation and direct flights, which do not pertain to the core idea of an open-jaw trip specifically.
