Round the World Ticket?

Where to get a ticket?
16 years ago, November 19th 2007 No: 1 Msg: #22794  
Hi all
I am planning on leaving the U.S. late Jan 2008, then travelling to South America, onto Australia, then back to the states. I am having trouble finding a good deal emcompassing these 3 continents. Is buying one way tickets a viable way, or just too expensive? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Reply to this

South America is the most expensive destination on a RTW - you'll probably find a return cheaper.

Your RTW could then be something like - US->Hawaii->Fiji->NZ->Aus->Asia->Europe->US - which is AFAIK the cheapest route. Reply to this

Hi Haysie id follow Ali's advice as one ways would be too expensive as i found booking my round the world ticket that south america is not cheap for flights.

Thanks for your input guys. I ended up doing the one way thing, the freedom aspect was what nailed it for me. Miami to Quito $250, then Buenos Aries to Melbourne $1600, ouch! Reply to this
