Default RTW from NZ

Hey World,
I'm hopelessly trying to find a RTW that will take me from New Zealand
to Europe (stop in SE Asia) and back via South America. Problem is I
will stay in Europe about a year and therefore need the ticket to be
valid about 15 months or so. Does anybody offer that?
Thanks for any tips.
Kim

No - most RTW's are maximum one year, although on some tickets can be
changed after travel commences, so potentially you could alter these dates,
however these changes could be construed as being outside of the T's & C's.

Alternatively, make your way to Europe, don't use the last segment back to
South America, and purchase a ticket in Europe to take you home.

I did a similar thing with an RTW ticket fairly recently. Depending on the
carrier the T's & C's generally specify 10 days minmum. So I booked
London-RTW-Madrid over seven days and bought a single ticket Madrid-London.
Had I made the trip as individual segments it would have cost several times
as much.

Kind Regards, Howard

Sorry misread your post - I thought you were currently based in South
America not New Zealand.

Kind Regards, Howard
