Definition:
A flight itinerary where the departure city is different on the way out than the return.
Or alternatively, the destination city that a passenger arrives in is different than the one that is departed from on the return portion of a flight itinerary.
An example would be a traveler starting at New York's Laguardia flying into San Francisco International, and then returning to Washington Dulles airport instead of New York.
