still do not understand...what is an open jaw??</font>

Open jaw #1 - you fly from city A tocity B. You return from city C to city A. There is an "open jaw" between cities B and C.

Open jaw #2 - you fly from city A to city B. You return from city B to city C. Same thing, but less comon.

It is assumed you get between the two open jaw cities one way or another (planes, trains, and/or automobiles).

Specifically permitted on most award tickets, not too sure about paid tix. With an award you can generally do an open jaw on both ends! Cool.

However - having said all that - not too sure where MSP-SFO-BOS fits as an open jaw. I guess he starts at MSP and finishes at BOS (duhhh). OK - open jaw. Can't understand why the agent didn't grok that.
