Triangular routes

“Triangle flights” (also called a triangular trip or open-jaw itinerary) involve traveling between three different cities instead of making a simple round trip.

For example:

  • Fly from Doha → Toronto
  • Then travel from Toronto → Chicago
  • Fly back from Chicago → Doha

The route forms a rough triangle on a map, which is where the name comes from.

Common Types

  1. Open-Jaw Flight
  2. Fly into one city and depart from another.
  3. Example:
  4. Doha → Toronto
  5. Return: Montreal → Doha
  6. Multi-City/Triangle Itinerary
  7. Example:
  8. Doha → New York
  9. New York → Chicago
  10. Chicago → Doha

Benefits

  • See multiple destinations without backtracking.
  • Often cheaper than buying several one-way tickets.
  • Useful for business travelers visiting multiple cities.
  • Can save time and transportation costs.

Example for a Canadian Traveling to the U.S.

If you’re interviewing or working in multiple locations:

Many airlines and booking sites allow you to select “Multi-city” instead of “Round Trip” when searching.
