Open jaw flights FRA-Moscow; St Pete-FRA
Is there any airline which will offer open jaw flights FRA to Moscow, then returning from St Pete to FRA? I will be travelling with about 6-8 friends Sept 2011.
I just called Lufthansa ..... and the agent told me that they do not offer open-jaw tickets to Russia. I would have to buy 2 one-way tickets ..... each about US$850, total of $1600-1700.
Aeroflot could does not allow open jaw (multi-city) rez on their web site .... and when I called their US reservations office, the agent could not understand what I meant by "open jaw." Besides, according to their web-site, they do not offer a non-stop St Pete to FRA ..... we'd have to route ourselves via Moscow.
Any insight from anyone?
TIA

You can even book open jaw on LH own web site - just click on the Multi-segment journey (Multi-city/stopover) link. Just made a random mock booking which priced up at just under 200 into DME and out of LED.
If you are looking a booking something in September 2011, it might be that you are having problems as it is way to early and they are not even selling seats on flights more than a year away.

If you can't get LH to cave on the open jaw, you might want to try LCC Air Berlin. It would be two, one-way tickets (not an open jaw) but the prices are much lower than what LH is quoting you.
Another option is two one ways on Air Baltic (through Riga).
