Stopover & Open Jaw Value Calculator

Some award programs let you add a free stopover or fly into one city and home from another (an "open jaw") for the same points as a simple round-trip — effectively turning one redemption into two destinations. Pick a program and two cities to see exactly how much that's worth versus booking separately.

Which programs allow this

Not every program permits stopovers or open-jaws on award tickets — Air Canada Aeroplan and ANA have historically been generous, British Airways allows it on some routings, and most others restrict or disallow it entirely. This tool estimates the arithmetic value; always confirm the specific program's current routing rules before booking.

FAQs

What's the difference between a stopover and an open jaw?

A stopover means stopping in a city for an extended period (often 24+ hours) mid-itinerary; an open jaw means flying into one city and returning from a different one, with you arranging your own transport between them.

Does this tool book the flights?

No — it's a value calculator to help you decide if a routing is worth pursuing. Confirm actual routing rules and availability directly with the program.
