Open-jaw ticket. A sample itinerary for an open jaw electronic ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam, and returning from Munich. An open-jaw ticket is an airline return ticket where the destination and/or the origin are not the same in both directions. The name is derived from how it looks when drawn on a map.

The shortest distance between two points in plane is a Cartesian straight line. The Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the distance between points in a plane. Even over short distances, the accuracy of geographic distance calculations which assume a flat Earth depend on the method by which the latitude and longitude coordinates have been ...
Direct flight. A direct flight in the aviation industry is any flight between two points by an airline with no change in flight numbers, which may include one or more stops at an intermediate point (s). [1] A stop may either be to get new passengers (or allow some to disembark) or a technical stop over (i.e., for refuelling).
The shortest distance between two geographical points is the great-circle distance. In the example (right), the aircraft travelling westward from North America to Japan is following a great-circle route extending northward towards the Arctic region. The apparent curve of the route is a result of distortion when plotted onto a conventional map ...
A flight between two airports in the United States, flown by an airline based in Canada, with a stop in Canada. Such as a flight from Seattle (US) via Toronto (CA) to Boston (US), with a passenger ticketed from Seattle to Boston. 7th The right to fly between two foreign countries, where the flights do not touch one's own country.

Euclidean distance. In mathematics, the Euclidean distance between two points in Euclidean space is the length of the line segment between them. It can be calculated from the Cartesian coordinates of the points using the Pythagorean theorem, and therefore is occasionally called the Pythagorean distance. These names come from the ancient Greek ...
When the cities are viewed as points in the plane, many natural distance functions are metrics, and so many natural instances of TSP satisfy this constraint. The following are some examples of metric TSPs for various metrics. In the Euclidean TSP (see below), the distance between two cities is the Euclidean distance between the corresponding ...
Distance from a point to a plane. In Euclidean space, the distance from a point to a plane is the distance between a given point and its orthogonal projection on the plane, the perpendicular distance to the nearest point on the plane. It can be found starting with a change of variables that moves the origin to coincide with the given point then ...
