Why choose one destination when you can explore the globe with our round the world flights?

What is a round the world flight?

Round the world flights include travelling to several countries around the world with requirements around mileage, cities or continents depending on your ticket.

  • City-based map guide

    City-based

    Want to see some of the world’s biggest cities? A city-based fare gives you the chance to tick off a few big cities in one trip. Travelling in one direction around the globe, this ticket can be an affordable alternative to a more complex multi-city journey.

    For example, get a taste of Asia in Singapore before touching down where history meets modern life in London, and ending with all the glitz and glamour of the LA Sunshine.

  • Continent-based map guide

    Continent-based

    Tick off your bucket list one continent at a time with a single ticket. You can visit multiple cities per continent and make your way around the world in one direction. It’s a fun, flexible, and affordable way to see the world!

    For example, your trip starts in Asia, flying to Tokyo and Phuket. From there, you want to see Rome and London. The USA is the final continent, where you stop in New York and LA before flying home.

  • Mileage-based map guide

    Mileage-based

    Travel around the world your own way with a mileage-based ticket. Ensuring you’re travelling in the one direction, you can customise your round the world itinerary to your liking and the cost is calculated by the miles you’ll travel.

    For example, you wish to visit the seven wonders of the world so you depart from Australia, fly to Beijing, then New Delhi, Cairo, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Lima, Cancun and end your journey back home.

Round the world frequently asked questions

What is a Round The World (RTW) ticket?

A round ticket is a special type of airfare that allows you to explore the globe with a single ticket purchase. A round-the-world ticket will have several stops across multiple continents and usually circumnavigates the globe back to your starting point.

Our team of Round-The-World Airfare Experts are like the Avengers of round-the-world travel! They can pull together great value flights that tick all of your destination boxes without the hassle of online searching and playing Tetris to ensure flight times line up, much of which you simply can’t even do yourself. Chat to one of our team today and turn your dreams into reality!


What airlines offer RTW tickets?

We could list airlines that offer RTW until we’re blue in the face... but we much prefer the colour red! Most major airlines will team up with affiliated partners on a RTW program to allow them to support routes they don’t typically operate. Chat to a Round The World Air Expert to see which airline best suits your requirements.


Can I change my itinerary after purchase?

Each ticket is unique and comes with its own set of rules. Speak to your Travel Expert about the best option for you as some tickets allow changes and others do not.


Are there any restrictions on RTW tickets?

For all round-the-world flights you must travel in one direction around the globe. Depending on the type of ticket you choose, the number of stops can range from 3 to 15. The ticket and the airline choice will also affect the destinations you can visit, so it’s best to chat to a Round The World Air Expert.


How long is an RTW ticket valid?

While this can vary from airline to airline, RTW tickets will usually be valid for 12 months from your first flight. Be sure to chat to your Round-The-World Air Expert to ensure you understand the terms and conditions for your ticket. 


What are the benefits of an RTW ticket?

A RTW ticket is great bang for your buck! It allows you tick more countries off your bucket list without having to purchase additional tickets.
Plus, with multiple airlines working together, it means you have a bunch more options with routes and stopovers than you would booking individual point-to-point flights.


How many stops can I make on an RTW ticket?

Most traditional RTW tickets require you to have a minimum of 3 stops, and the maximum is 15, however that may be less with some airlines. Chat to our team of Round The World Air Experts to see how they can help create a bespoke itinerary that takes you as far as your imagination can lead you.


Can I earn frequent flyer points on an RTW ticket?

Absolutely! To learn more about how you can maximize your mileage points on your RTW ticket, get in touch with our Round The World Air Experts today.


What should I consider when planning an RTW trip?

Firstly, where do you want to go? Most RTW flight tickets will require stops in multiple continents, so you’ll need to consider where you want to stop, how long you might want to stay in one place and how long you want to travel before completing the trip home. Most tickets will require you to complete your entire trip within 12 months, so while these are flexible, some planning is required. It’s also important to consider the rules of the ticket you purchase, so you know what you can and can’t do if any changes or cancellations occur.
