Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary is a compact one-week multi-stop ticket: Lyon to Los Angeles, then onward to Houston, then back to Lyon. With 3 nights in Los Angeles and 1 night in Houston, the routing keeps the longer stay at the first U.S. stop and uses Houston as a short final stop before the transatlantic return.
As ticket structure, this works well for travelers who want two U.S. cities on a single economy fare rather than pricing each leg separately. The sequence is straightforward and minimizes backtracking inside the trip window, which matters on a one-week schedule where each flight segment takes a meaningful share of the total travel time.
Timing is tight by design. In October, this kind of four-segment plan fits travelers looking to add a second city without turning the trip into a longer open-ended journey. Because the stop pattern is only 3 nights plus 1 night, the route is best approached as a short multi-city itinerary with limited buffer between onward travel and the final long-haul flight home.
