Open jaw
I wasn't sure where to put this question.
Still new to the whole FF system and I was wondering if I wanted to book a trip and wanted to make a couple stops both ways to add more segments from my home airport from my departing and arriving dates, it that called open jaw. Still trying to learn the lingo of the FF system.
Also is there a website I can go to help me plan my first MR for me.

One version of open jaw is returning to a different airport than you departed from. Example BOS-LAX-JFK and then I take the bus to Boston.
Then you have open jaw w/ stopover where you make your own way to the connecting flight. Example Boston to Hong Kong, Ground transport to Beijing and then fly to Sydney.
You just want additional connections and/or to stopover on the way.

Although the question has been answered already (thanks CDKing!) I am moving this thread to Information Desk.
There is also a Glossary under Help at the top of the page for anybody wanting to learn the lingo.

Open Jaw is something different as explained by CDKing, where you do not return to the same place you started from, or you have a segment that you do not use the air ticket to cover.

You can use a tool such as google.com/flights to look for flights.
