Around the World Tickets
Hello,
I am looking to go on an Around the World trip. I've heard that KLM offers around the world tickets in different "mile denominations" ie 25000, 35000 etc etc. Do any other airlines offer these types of deals, and if so, where should I start looking? Thanks, Jared |

I don't know the score in Canada, but in the USA those airline round-the-world tickets usually turn out more expensive than buying a custom itinerary from a round-the-world specialist like Airtreks or Airbrokers. miguel -- See the world from your web browser: http://travel.u.nu/ |

You're probably better off going to an agent rather than an airline. Eg Trailfinders: http://www.trailfinders.com/RTWTickets.htm -- Andy |

David All, YOUR OPINION PLEASE I'm intersted in a multi-stop ticket and wonder if an Around the World Ticket could work out cheaper. Here's what I'm looking for: (2 adults 33/29 years) 1) Start in London 2) 1st leg to India - Chennai/Madras or Kolkata/Calcutta 3) 2nd leg to Sydney incl. 2-3 internal Australia flights 4) 3rd leg BACKWARDS to Vietnam - Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City 5) 4th leg RETURN to London I only have 6 weeks So, is it worth going for piece meal single tickets or an around the world ticket? Is a "pacific circle" ticket better? If I have to go east only, I could do India, Vietnam, Oz I guess. Thanks, Marcus http://www.marcuskern.com/ |

Thanks, Marcus http://www.marcuskern.com/ You cant go backwards on a RTW ticket What may be a better option is a return ticket to Australia with stopovers in India and someplace you can book a trip to Vietnam , probably Thailand. I suggest you try a good travel agent rather than trying to do this through the web or one of the big high street chains Personally I'd give Trailfinders a call. Keith |

You cant go backwards on a RTW ticket On (at least) the Star Alliance world-round scheme, the traditional 'continuous direction' rule has been removed. However, the fare is based on distance travelled, so backtracking may not be cost effective. cheers, Henry |
