round trip ticket

There-and-back pass

A round trip ticket covers travel to a destination and back again, as opposed to a one-way ticket.

The term applies to planes, trains, buses, and other transportation: I booked a round trip ticket to Chicago.

Round trip tickets often cost less than two separate one-way fares.

Also called a return ticket in British English.
