So now convinced to go around the world and knowing where I want to go, how do I now book my flights?
My experience has provided me many options. There’s a story behind each one, which if you don’t mind I’d like to share to see if this option is for you. This is Part 3. You can find Part 1 here, which focuses on buying a Round the World ticket via SkyTeam in the Philippines (spoiler alert: not recommended) and Part 2 here, which is buying a Round the World ticket via Star Alliance (spoiler alert: great, but expensive)
If you want to know my recommendation, just jump to the end of this series.
So Star Alliance looked good, with a great site, and an immediate price quote, but also looked expensive! After all Singapore Airlines is part of the list, as well as other premium airlines.
Is there a cheaper option?
ATTEMPT #3 – AirTreks
I discovered AirTreks as I continued to do google searches for Round The World Trips. I saw it mentioned in a lot of forums and blogs, and figured I’d check it out. Airtreks seems to be a US Based company and it’s been featured in Yahoo, BBC News, and National Geographic.
AirTreks seems well praised! This was interesting.
