FAQs
How do I plan a trip around the world?
Where to begin? Do you want to see every single continent? Just one continent in great depth? Just one country in great depth?

A round the world ticket can range wildly, between $1500–$20,000 dollars depending on your flight's mileage, your route, whether you're flying economy or not, and the number of stopovers, though a simple two to four stop around the world ticket might cost as little as $1,500.
