Around the World Trips
There is nothing better than a nice long around the world trip! There are numerous ways to go about this;
- You can do it on your own, buying one flight at a time as you decide where you want to go. This is perfect for people who have unlimited time as the flexibility is all up to you
- The two main airline alliances (Star and OneWorld) have around the world tickets you can buy. Some are based on mileage, others on certain flight paths. These are a good way to go if you are ready to set dates as you have to book all your flights in advance. Sometimes you can change flights without a fee, but usually the airlines milk you for more money if you change anything. There is some flexibility in this, but not much.
