Multi-city trips are notoriously difficult to book. Standard flight search tools are designed for simple round trips, and piecing together individual one-way segments often costs more than a properly structured multi-city itinerary. Open-jaw routing -- flying into one city and out of another -- can save both money and backtracking time, but most travelers do not know how to search for it.

The search_flights skill handles multi-segment searches, and find_airport identifies the best airports for each leg. You can plan a trip that flies into London, takes a train to Paris, then flies home from Paris without needing to retrace your steps. This kind of itinerary optimization is hard to do manually but straightforward when you have real-time search across all segments simultaneously.

How to search multi-city flight itineraries with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw

Claude builds multi-city itineraries through collaborative trip planning. Search each segment of your journey, then optimize the order of cities for lowest total cost, check open-jaw routing possibilities, and compare multi-city bookings against separate one-way tickets. The conversation produces an optimized travel plan, not just individual flight searches.
