What is "open-jaw" travel?

An open-jaw travel itinerary allows you to fly from your origin to your destination and return to your origin from a point other than your destination. The portion not flown is the open-jaw segment. For example: fly from Anchorage to Los Angeles and return to Anchorage from San Diego. Contact Reservations at (1-800-252-7522) 1-800-ALASKAAIR or Mileage Plan at 1-800-654-5669 for questions on specific travel award itineraries. For some awards, open-jaw itineraries are not allowed. Award travel does not include transportation between open-jaw cities. Also, open-jaw itineraries do not allow stopovers.
