A multi-city flight (also called a multi-leg flight) allows travelers to book an itinerary with two or more destinations in a single trip. Instead of returning to your original departure city right away, you can stop at one or more cities along the way.
New York (JFK) ➜ Miami (MIA)
Miami (MIA) ➜ Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles (LAX) ➜ Chicago (ORD)
You book all these legs in one reservation, which helps you:
Save money vs. separate one-way tickets
Keep baggage transfers seamless
Avoid missed connections when using American Airlines-operated flights
