Tips for planning your Round the World (RTW) ticket purchase

1. Put together a list of the cities you want to visit on your around the world trip. RTW tickets are really the most economical method of building complex multi-stop airline itineraries. A good starting point is our detailed destination guide which gives details of attractions, cultural norms, tipping guides, hotel discounts, ground transportation options, passport and visa requirements.

2. Plan the order of visits in a continuous direction around the world. You can save large amounts on your RTW ticket by moving in a continuous direction and avoiding any backtracking.

3. Most round the world tickets are based on a combination of stops and mileage. As such, for some short legs it may make sense to purchase a separate one-way ticket or alternative transportation such as rail. You normally do not have to arrive and depart from the same city in each area. So for instance, you can fly into Bangkok and catch a train to Singapore to continue your trip. This is called a "surface sector" in technical RTW ticketing language.

4. Most RTW tickets are for a period of 12 months. Some discounted ones are for shorter periods. Be sure to match the ticket length to your true travel wishes. Sometimes purchasing the 6 month RTW ticket and starting off the trip with a single one-way ticket can provide a savings.

5. Most RTW tickets are entirely flexible with dates so that you can extend or shortern your stay in each destination as you experience the trip. If this is important to you, confirm that the RTW ticket you are exploring allows these changes.

6. Be sure to check on passport and visa requirements prior to booking.

7. Our RTW booking tool can help you get an idea of the types of trips available. We encourage you to play around with it and explore the possibilities. Once you have some ideas please submit the itinerary and an expert round the world travel counselor will help fine tune your trip and make suggestions. We want you to truly enjoy your RTW travel and take the time to make sure you get the perfect airline ticket for your needs.
