Around the World Tickets

Hello,

I am looking to go on an Around the World trip. I've heard that KLM
offers around the world tickets in different "mile denominations" ie
25000, 35000 etc etc. Do any other airlines offer these types of
deals, and if so, where should I start looking?

Thanks,

Jared

Star Alliance!! (Lufthansa, Austrian, BMI, Thai, United, Air Canada,
Singapore, Varig, etc).

Star alliance deals are available in the UK for under GBP1000 allowing IIRC
up to 8 stops and max 35,000 miles

Where are you starting from?
Providing that info may result in more specific help.

Yeah, travel in India is hard, but you are constantly overwhelmed by
the stimulation of it all that it doesn't seem to matter. Even just a
short trip to India can be life changing. Good value in my books, even
if lots of folks leave with their tail between their legs..

And IMO, you would get a lot better value out of visiting just NZ for
a longer time than combining it with Oz.

Echoing Miguel, check with some travel agencies. If you go directly to
an airline, you're going to pay out the wazoo. Also, if you're a
student, make sure to check with student-focused agencies such as STA
Travel. They can get some really good rates on British Airways ATW
tickets.
