What's the next step?
Here are our useful tips for travelling around the world.
- Plan out your rough itinerary.
- If cost is an important deciding factor speak to us first. We will be able to tell you quickly the possible and impossible for your budget. Bare in mind taxes and fuel surcharges will add between £300 and £600 to your basic ticket cost.
- Decide on your "must do" stops and then "would like to do stops".
- Try to arrange them in an order that keeps going in roughly the same global direction
- If your trip is over a relatively short period don't be tempted to add in too many stops.
- Consider putting "surface sectors" into your itinerary. (That is flying into one airport and out of another). This can add a lot to your trip. You see much more when you're not at 35000 feet on an aircraft seat! These are some of the more popular ones.
Bangkok to Singapore
Beijing to Hong Kong
Hanoi to Ho Chi Min City
Perth to Sydney
Sydney to Cairns
Auckland to Christchurch
Santiago to Lima or Rio
Los Angeles to San Francisco
Los Angeles to New York or Miami
- Consider adding a tour or train journey into your trip and really make the most of your time.
