While it may be an open jaw routing, you won't find that anyplace when you
are searching for fares. You will find it as multiple city.

Multiple cities is a broader term. "Open jaw" refers to a specific
kind of flight: depart from and return to the same city, with a
non-flight segment shorter than either of the flights. It can be
subject to a much-reduced fare. I think it's nice to know the term,
since it's a specific term used by the airlines in coding fares.
There are also special fares for circle and stopover itineraries, to
name two.

Multiple cities in online search engines is just anything other than a
round trip.

Call it what you and the other want to call it, the fact is that the
original poster won't find it on any of the sites he's looking at called
anything other then a Multiple City routing.

An open jaw, by the way, does not have to start and end in the same city. I
can fly from LA to New York and Back to San Francisco and it's an open jaw,
just as if I flew from New York to LA then San Francisco back to New York.

And multiple cities is not anything other then a round trip, since everybody
is getting so specific. One Ways are not round trips, and they are not
multiple cities, they are one ways.

Since I was on an Alaska RR cruise train chartered by HAL, I saw no Princess
cars, and did not look for them. I would have noticed a Princess logo,
though, you can be sure.

Hi,

I am curious. Did you not see the special Princess cars?

Best regards,

Again, Mike, I am not nit-picking. We hoard US Airways frequent flyer miles,
and in 2001 we booked a Canal cruise which had us flying from Philadelphia to
San Francisco and then home from Fort Lauderdale.

US Airways introduced us to the term "open jaw" and that is how we refer to it.

You are both right. In the travel business it has been refered to as "Open Jaw"
as long as there have been commercial flights I think. When the Internet Travel
Sites started out the WEB Designers did not think it proper to use slang so they
decided to call it something more people would understand. Same thing, different
names.
