Round the World Airfare Myths

Common Myths about Round the World Airfares

I can't backtrack on my journey
This isn't entirely true. You can backtrack whilst remaining inside a continent, however, some restrictions apply. For example, you can only travel from the west coast of the US to the east coast once but you may backtrack as long as you don't make your way back to the coast. Bear in mind that backtracking is counted in your mileage should you be purchasing a mileage based ticket.

Round the World tickets are always cheaper/ always more expensive
Purchasing a round the world ticket can be cheaper than travelling to certain destinations at certain times of the year but there is no hard and fast rule. Sometimes due to availability of seats an around the world can be cheaper that purchasing tickets to Europe of the US. See our cost comparison for more information. One thing is for sure; round the world tickets deliver much better value than point to point fares due to their flexibility, no seasonal surcharges and the overall cost per flight.
