Circle trip
Reviewed September 2026
An itinerary that departs and returns to the same city without retracing its outbound path — Chicago to Tokyo, Tokyo to Singapore, Singapore back to Chicago. Circle trips price under different combination rules than simple round trips and frequently beat the cost of booking the legs separately. For multi-stop Asia or Europe business itineraries, asking for the circle construction rather than serial one-ways is often worth four figures.
