In the end I decided to drop India and Vietnam and only go for a Oz + New Zealand trip. I went to Trailfinders and they gave me the following deal: 1) Return with Japan Airlines London - Sydney GBP 549.00 + tax 2) Quantas Boomerang ticket Alice Springs-Perth, Perth-Brisbane, Brisbane-Christchurch, Christchurch-Sydney GBP 420.00 + tax 3) The rest of local Sydney hopping I'll do with Virginblue. This works out a nice trip at a very reasonable price. Thanks again, Marcus http://www.marcuskern.com/ |

Drop Oz, and visit India, Vietnam and NZ instead. The scale of Australia means you wont see much apart from some population centres. ??? I think there's so much more to see in India, and the scale and speed of travel there takes so much more time, I don't see how you can say that. India and Vietnam are both well worth visiting. Judging from his webpage, I think he already knows that. Turby the Turbosurfer |

Yeah, travel in India is hard, but you are constantly overwhelmed by the stimulation of it all that it doesn't seem to matter. Even just a short trip to India can be life changing. Good value in my books, even if lots of folks leave with their tail between their legs.. And IMO, you would get a lot better value out of visiting just NZ for a longer time than combining it with Oz. --- DFM |

Can anybody tell me about the prices of an Around The World Ticket??

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 -- |

If you don't, go to a big agency and try to convince them that you are serious. Travel agents don't like RTWs, because they are complicated (i.e., a lot of work for them). If you can't get a travel agent to take you through the main points, then you can try one of the airlines--but you'll have to do some research beforehand. There are at least four or five (maybe more) airline partnerships or consortia that have RTW schemes, and any airline you call will obviously only be able (and willing) to tell you about their own. Each plan has a number of levels or categories, and the price will depend on such things as where you start/end your journey, how far you go and/or how many stops you make, where you sit in the plane, etc. You really need to have a basic understanding of what is involved before you can even ask the right questions. Google is your friend. cheers, Henry |
