Hey everyone!
This summer my girlfriend and I are planning on making a trip around the
world (by plane for about a month). She's been talking about it for a long
time and now that we can do it I hope she would never forget it!
We want to visit 5 specific places on this trip - London, New York, Los
Angeles, Tokyo and Honkong. I know that there are many websites offering
airplane tickets but can anyone recommend a specific site which is safe
and has a search engine for multy-city-traveling???
10nx a lot in advance!

Their .co.uk site has a fun on-line RTW planner.

and it isn't just for students.

If you visit the Star Alliance website http://www.staralliance.com

you can download a trip planning tool, the Round the World Mileage Calculator,
and do all your searching, etc., on your own PC (no Mac version, unfortunately).


Hi

There is also the "One World Alliance" website -
http://www.oneworld.com

They also have a downloadable trip planning tool, which basically does
the same thing as "Star Alliance". However, because the airlines -
and hence the schedules - are different, it may possibly give you a
more convenient routing.

My wife and I are also in the early stages of planning a Round the
World trip, and it so happens that for the route we want to take, the
"One World alliance" fits our plans better - I am not saying this will
necessarily be the same for you (you may well find that "Star Alliance
suits you better), just that it is worth comparing your proposed route
using both "alliances".

There have already been some good suggestions for websites where you
can buy tickets, but you should also try www.lessno.com. The site has a
very powerful multi-city search engine which allows you to plan a trip
of up to five cities.
My advise is to try the websites first. If none of them works, there is
of course another way - you can visit a local travel agent and have him
plan the trip for you. But unfortunately if you do this you'll have to
pay extra fees for their services.
Well, good luck!

But it *does* do pricing, albeit only for round-the-world tickets.


Hmmm. I'll have to go back and look again. I thought I got as far as getting an
valid RTW itinerary, and then it said it would have to email in the route to get
a price.
