The best option for you totally depends on the route you plan on and where
you'll start from.

Yeah, everything seems very similar, and it's near impossible to get
good information on where you can fly to, unless you go "can I fly to
X then Y then Z", because of that I just knocked up
http://jibbering.com/routeplanner/ that lets you plan oneworld or
star alliance (star data is pretty out of date unfortunately) RTW
flights on a flight by flight basis.

Depending on how old you are and your status (student or under 26) -
first try Sta travels and then try different websites. Print them off
then go to some local travel agents and see what price they quote you.
if its too much then say you have a beta offer from so and so. try
flight center as a last resort and they price match. even beta check out
the local newspapers and then phone around and say that so and so quoted
you so and so (decrease the amount by say £10 each time). write down a
reference numbers and then say you get back to them in a few minutes.
Basically if your willing to spend a day out you can get some really
savings.

I saved £150 on my rtw ticket by doing this.

Another thing i will say is make sure you book a good airline line
Singapore or emerites as if your traveling long distances then you wana
comfortable ride. also depending on your airplane some long distance
airlines have two seats on the sides of the plane near the back instead
of three. these are generally great seat as you can request a window
seat and there's space between the seat and the plane wall to put your
stuff (e.g. some bag, blankets etc). basically these give you some space
in a cramped commercial airline!

anyway i hope all this has helped.

btw where are you going?

I would recommend you not to book a RTW ticket as this limits your freedom.
Travel plans always change and if you then have to go back to Bangkok to
continue your flight to Australia while you're in Vietnam could even cost
you quite a bit of money. What I always do is book an open jaw ticket to my
first destination and back from my last destination this leaves me freedom
to do whatever I want in between and usually ends up being a lot cheaper.

Have a great trip!
