USA to Vietnam and Taiwan, what "route" of plane tickets should I take? [closed]
I am scoping out a motorcycle trip in November with two friends. They are planning separate post-trip travels in December than myself, but we will be spending the majority of November biking around Vietnam.
Roundtrip tickets from Houston to Vietnam are in the 700 dollar range from skyscanner, however, I have many friends in Taiwan and would like to spend some time there as well.
Considering that it's usually cheapest to get round trip tickets, should I get a round trip ticket for Taiwan for November returning late December, then while in Taiwan get round trip tickets for Vietnam shortly after my arrival, then returning to Taiwan before my flight back to HOU? Or is there some option I am not aware of?
I am a US Citizen.

Use the multi city feature on your preferred booking engine to see if you can construct an itinerary stopping in several cities at a reasonable price.

Answer 2
There are many options to explore.
You can look at round trips from Houston to both Vietnam and Taiwan and the costs for round trip between Vietnam & Taiwan. And you need to look at these flights separately, as the inter-Asia prices can vary depending on your starting gateway.
You can price out an open jaw ticket (fly to one city and return from another), then look at the cost of a one way Inter-asia ticket to connect the two. Again you need to look at both directions.
Finally you can book a multi-city itinerary going from Houston to Vietnam to Taiwan to Houston (or vice versa).
While the rule of thumb is that a single round trip is cheaper, that is not always the case. You can find excellent open jaw and multi-city deals, it all depends on the dates and what seats are available on the flights.
