Think about your bucket list trip. A few days in one city. A beautiful beach the next. Then an adventure into nature. With Skyscanner multi-city flights, booking your dream trip is the stuff of dreams. Simply combine multiple destinations in a single travel itinerary and book your flights in one go for easy travel planning.

What are multi-city flights?

A seamless way to travel

A multi-city flight, or multi-stop flight, is a single booking that allows you to visit several cities during one trip. This helps you to pull your itinerary together and keep everything in one place, ensuring your travel experience is seamless and well organized.


Booking a multi-city flight is typically cheaper than booking multiple one-way flights between destinations. They’re ideal if you’re traveling on a budget. Plus, you’ll find the process of booking several flights in one go less confusing than booking your flights separately.


Skyscanner’s multi-city search tool makes it easy to compare flights so you can get the best deal without having to go to multiple sites. You can even book with different airlines.

  1. To get started, head to the Skyscanner flights homepage or open the Skyscanner app, and click on ‘Create a multi-city route’ at the top of the search panel.

  2. Choose the number of passengers and cabin class you want to search for, then click ‘done.’

  3. The next page you see will display the results for the domestic and/or international flights you’ve chosen.

When is the best time to book a multi-city flight?

The best time to book a multi-city flight is when you’re considering a few destinations but can’t decide on just one. Rather than looking up different cities, airports, and flight times before booking tickets individually, you can lock in several dream destinations at once. Booking a multi-stop flight will typically save you money too, giving you more to spend in each of your chosen vacation destinations. Whether you want to fly between multiple cities at home in America, various countries in Europe, or make your way across the world, a multi-city flight can help you plan your itinerary with ease.


There are many types of flights to choose from when planning your trips. Direct flights do exactly as their name suggests and will take you straight from A to B, whereas non-direct flights require a short stopover partway through your flight. The stopover may be required for refueling, or you might need to change plane depending on where you’re heading. Extended layovers are longer stops, typically 4+ hours for domestic flights and 24+ hours for international flights. These layovers mean you can head out of the airport and explore your surroundings before you continue with your journey.
