Rare bobolz Posted October 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Just a question for those that have traveled with SS w air or even on your own/thru TA. we just received our booking and our SS agent booked 2 one ways , so 2 separate PRN#s,both with same Airline . We have always done open jaw ( I.e 1 PRN) is there anything we should be aware of when it comes time to travel since our outbound ticket will not show us returning to US since the return is on a diff ticket ? We are traveling to Lisbon and returning from London thanks in advance Edited October 28, 2023 by bobolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted October 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Nothing at all. I buy all our air fares myself and due to the nature of our travel they are virtually all booked as one way fares and I can have several PNRs for our trips. Never a problem. Occasionally a country will require proof of leaving so a copy of all flights on your phone is simple though we always have a printed copy as backup.

Rare FlyerTalker Posted October 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not an issue at all. In fact, we often travel with separate locators for each direction AND for each person. There's nothing that says everyone needs to be on the same reservation. In fact, for upgrading purposes, it often works better to have separate locators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobolz Posted October 28, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Thanks Flyer. I figured you would be an expert on this subject. My BIL had mentioned he found it cheaper to do one ways vs round trip or multi-city, I just never found that to be the case when pricing overseas flights. Maybe it is better with domestic one ways and maybe he uses points as well. thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is better with domestic one ways and maybe he uses points as well. The USA domestic market has pretty much given up on segmenting markets by advance purchase with round-trip. Especially the "saturday night stay". So there is little benefit in buying a round-trip ticket other than having it all on one reservation/ticket - now you can mix and match airlines and fare types. OTOH, round-trips or open-jaws are still the most frequent methods for best pricing on intercontinental trips. There are a few airlines that give attractive one-way fares, but not most. Award tickets are best bought with one-ways, as that gives you the most flexibility in finding the best pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
