Multi-stop airfare.

[AndyMan 7]

Does anyone have any pointers for getting innexpensive multi-stop airfares?

We want to book Chicago -> Toronto, Toronto -> Atlanta, then Atlanta -> Chicago. We're seeing prices starting at $500. It's be cheaper if we booked two separate sets of flights... but then we'd have a stopover in Chicago.

Is there a secret to getting good prices on Multi-stop trips?

That looks like a good price for multi stop to me....

When doing funky stuff like that, I feel a good travel agent is always a best bet. I use Expedia for simple trips, but I call a guy who used to work for Air Can reservation for 17 years prior to being an agents... They know the tricks.

I've used a lot of the online sites for buying aifare. Expedia seems to be best designed for booking multiple segments IMO.

It all depends on the dates you are choosing... Right now you can find the same routing for about $350 on a single ticket with a single stop (again that's assuming at least 7 days advanced).

Here is what works:

1) Take the very earliest fly available, usually 6:00am.
2) Avoid departing on Tues, Wed, Thurs and Fri ( Sat, Sun and Mon are usually the best deals).
3) Book & pay at least 7 days in advance
4) Use the alternate airports ( Chicago Midway instead of Ohare)


The route you are looking for is served by American Airlines, and depends on your booking dates you can get away with $350.

Hope this helps.
