What type of flight do you want to book?
Confused about the difference between a one-way, return and multi-city flight? Here's a quick run down to help you out...
Return - a return flight means you are leaving from, and arriving into, the same airport and travelling there and back e.g. Auckland to London, then London to Auckland.
One way - a one way flight means you are leaving from and arriving into another airport, but not travelling back again to where you started e.g. Auckland to London.
Multi-city - a multi-city flight allows you to fly into one city and back from another? We call it an 'open-jaw' ticket and you can book it yourself online with STA Travel. Just enter the destinations you want to depart from and arrive into in the fields given and we'll take care of the rest. Here are some examples to get you thinking:
