What is a RTW ticket?

So you’ve decided to take the plunge and head out into the big wide world? Good decision. But do you just have the vague notion of travelling ‘around the world’ in your head and are not actually sure how it all works? Sure, I hear you. Well lucky for you, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to tell you everything you need to know about RTW tickets. Just read on my friend it will all make sense…

What does RTW mean?

RTW stands for Round the World. RTW tickets allow you to travel to more than one destination. So round the world could be London to Dubai, Dubai to Sydney, Sydney to Auckland, Auckland to London and you can do all of those destinations on just one ticket! How cool is that?

Where can you go on a RTW ticket?

Anywhere and everywhere! Well let’s keep it realistic, the route has to make sense i.e. from Antarctica to Thailand might not be the most accessible. Also, you can’t hop back to London in between, the trip has to start and end in the UK. The experts will work out where the different airlines fly and match up the routes accordingly. But we can pretty much tailor make it to wherever you want to go! Nailed it.

How much are RTW tickets?

Depends on where you are flying to! The more destinations the more expensive the ticket. But we have some RTW tickets from as cheap as £339, like the Nor’Easter! At first glance, they may look like they cost more but it actually works out a HECK of a lot cheaper than buying lots of individual tickets to multiple destinations. For example, Across the Pond heads to 8 different stops across the Americas and AT THE MOMENT* is only £899, that’s about 100 quid a ticket. Mega cheap!
*aka hurry!
