Route notes
Why this routing works
This two-week itinerary uses a mix of long-haul flights, short intra-Europe air segments, and two overland gaps to keep the routing efficient. It starts with Los Angeles to London, includes a six-night stop there, then resumes from Zurich to Munich after an open-jaw transfer made independently between London and Zurich.
A second overland segment appears later in the route, with travel continuing by air from Zurich to Munich, then resuming from Lyon to Paris after the gap between Munich and Lyon. That structure lets the ticket cover the long-haul transatlantic sectors and selected intra-Europe flights while leaving room for surface travel between nonconsecutive flight points.
Because this is built as a multi-stop economy ticket rather than a simple round-trip, the sequencing matters: the journey enters Europe in London, moves through Central and Western Europe, and returns to Los Angeles from Paris. September timing fits a compact two-week plan well, with one confirmed longer stop in London and shorter connections elsewhere to keep the route moving.
