How do I use Google Flights for multi-city trips?

Using Google Flights for a multi-city trip is a good way to compare fares when you’re flying into one city and out of another, or visiting several stops on one itinerary.

How to use multi-city in Google Flights

1. Go to google.com/flights.
2. In the trip-type menu, change Round trip to Multi-city.
3. Enter your first leg: departure city, destination, and travel date.
4. Enter your next leg on the next line. If you’re traveling overland between stops, the next departure city can be different from the previous destination.
5. Add more legs if needed using Add flight.
6. Click Search and review the results for each leg.
7. After selecting flights, compare the total itinerary cost and then book.

Helpful tips

• Compare the multi-city price with separate one-way tickets; sometimes one-ways are cheaper.
• Check baggage rules for each airline, especially if you’re combining carriers.
• Make sure your arrival and departure airports line up, or leave enough time for ground transfer.
• If you’re booking through a third party instead of the airline, review the fare rules, change policies, and support options carefully.

A couple of cautions

• Google Flights multi-city searches support multiple legs, but the exact maximum and interface details can change over time, so check the current site if you need a long itinerary.
• Price tracking availability can vary by itinerary, so if alerts matter to you, check whether Google Flights offers tracking for your specific trip or track the individual legs separately.
• Because booking options and policies can differ, always confirm the final booking details before paying, especially if the itinerary is complex.
