single flights

[puzzled54]

Does anyone know of a company that doesn't charge extra for single flights to Canada/USA? I'd like to fly to one city, travel around, and then return from elsewhere. In some cases, the single fare is more expensive than the return, and some sites won't even let me look at a single flight from USA.

single flights do usually work out more expensive....and you cant book a single ticket into the US unless you are a citizen or on visa. You HAVE to have a return or onward ticket. The best thing to do is book an 'open -jaw' return. Basically that allows you to fly into one airport and out of another. How you get between them is up to you. Also try to get one that flexible in case you decide to change your dates while youre out there

Hiya try Zoomairlines and there is another one i have just frogotten the name of. They fly to Canada and are cheap i have flown with them before and they are basic but good enough. By online then you can choose the price depending on the day you leave.

I got one way tickets from Kuwait Air from London to JFK in April through Lastminute.com for �146 each. I've also booked one way to Orlando and back from JFK with Aer Lingus direct from their website a lot cheaper than a normal return.

Most of the cheap returns you see can be booked on an open jaw basis - out to one city, back from another, at half the sum of the two return fares. You may need to go to a travel agent to do it - many sites won't do it on line,

As someone else has said Aer Lingus price their outward and return legs separately - but they fly to relatively few places.

Hey Puzzled54,

I can only comment on Canada as not done USA itself. Can heartily recommend Zoom and you can fly to one city and back from another very easily for no extra charge. We did the same thing on our honeymoon and flew with BA-but it was much more expensive.

Westjet were brilliant for shorter internal flights and cheap too. Just a word of caution, and I know this sounds silly - but its a huge place, on our honeymoon we took 5 weeks to travel from Vancouver back to Toronto and it was manic! We went back in January and this time took two weeks to travel from toronto to montreal, and it was really hectic to try and see everything and came back needing a rest!!

Places look so close on the map and then you find out its seven hours on a train!!

Definately worth a visit though, lovely country -can't wait to go back!!

Try www.flyzoom.com They do single journeys. they are very good. We flew Oct 2004 and are flying with them again in May. We are flying into Vancouver and out of Toronto. Hope you have a great time.

Thanks all for taking the time to reply. I've found BA do just what I want (surprisingly) and not too expensive. Zoom are good for Canada, but I want to fly into Canada and return from USA, and Aer Lingus also don't have the destinations I want at the moment.
