Trips we plan
These examples describe trip shapes TravelQuest is designed to plan. They are examples, not past customer bookings or promises of availability.
Open jaw
The trip ends hundreds of miles from where it began. Forcing a return to London adds time and another hotel night. We compare an open-jaw fare against separate one-way tickets and check whether the fare rules work together.
Several cities
The international flights, domestic rail and regional flight have to fit the same calendar. We compare the order of the cities before comparing fares.
Distributed group
The aim is not one identical ticket. It is a set of arrivals that work together, with enough time for the group commitment and fare conditions each traveller understands.
Fixed arrival
A cheap fare that arrives too late is not an option. We work backward from the fixed commitment and compare earlier arrivals, connection risk and change flexibility.
Mixed needs
Travellers may share flights while using different cabins or fare types. We compare what can remain coordinated and what must be ticketed separately.
Poor fit
If the dates are fixed, the route is direct and the fare conditions are clear, booking with the airline may be faster. TravelQuest is most useful when the parts affect one another.
