OK, i've kinda priced it up and this is what i've come up with: These look line online prices, which are much higher than in-person travel agency prices, at least outside of Europe. THAILAND (Bangkok) - HONG KONG (BKK - HKG, Flight cost ~£175) On Orient Thai this should be about US$50. (LIM - CPT, Flight cost ~£2,800) That's ridiculous. You're paying more than the cost of a round-the-world ticket for a single one-way flight. miguel -- Hit The Road!

PERU (Lima) - SOUTH AFRICA (Cape Town) (LIM - CPT, Flight cost ~=A32,800) That flight from Lima to Cape town is the killer!!!! Try looking at Lima to Rio. Then Varig to Luanda and South African Airways to Cape Town. No need for Luanda. Just go from Lima to Buenos Aires and then take Malaysian from Buenos Aires direct to Cape Town (the flight then continues on to Johannesburg and Kuala Lumpur). |

Hi David,
It seems to me that you are flying around a lot, which means that during this travel you need to have some schedule which means less 'free' travel. My question is: Why don't you travel through Europe by train? You see more of the countries and some trains you can also sleep on? I.e. go to Munich, Berlin, Warschau, (Maybe Vilnius & Riga) and then st. Petersburg. Same goes for: ever concidered the Trains Siberian Express? Takes 7 days, but you go all through Russia, see Irkutst, maybe through Mongolia to Beijing. I mean: you have two years . Then, from Beijing overland to Hongkong, see some more China and go to Thailand. Do the beaches there and then India. Budgetting wise: Maybe GBP 200 for visa's, trans sib will be around GBP 150, China I'd say GBP 12 per day, Thailand GBP 8, India also. This is using budget accommodation, staying (a bit!) clear on beer, eating local food, using cheapest form of transportation. I don't know the costs for traveling by train through Europe. For the remainder of your trip I cannot really help you, since I have never been there. (also not trans sib, but planning) Hope this helps, Cheers, Aritha.

I'm estimating about a 2 year round-trip, working as and when I need/want to. Can anyone give me a rough budget and also point me in the right direction as to where there are savings to be made? Thanks David (Apologies for cross-posting (again!)) |
