Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest for the trees!

Anthonyanthony was almost there, but FewMiles picked up on it first.

Answer B, point-to-point, has been eliminated in a previous post.

By definition, a round trip (itinerary) is composed of a return portion which is an EXACT "mirror image" of the outbound journey.
(Basically, the psgr will be doing the same thing in both directions, just reversed on the return).

Since our psgr, Mr. Gomez, traveled outound on AA and returned on UA - we do not have a "mirror image" - therefore, we cannot have a round trip. Answers A,D, and E are therefore eliminated, since all reference the term "round trip".

Circle trips, too, are determined by a process of elimination. If we don't have a OW, a RT, or an open-jaw, we must, by the process of elimination, have a circle trip.

The answer is C, circle trip.

Well, enough for today!


This is an actual training question given by a major carrier. I'm told that nobody ever gets it right!
