	ROUND THE WORLD TICKETS (RTW-tickets)

AROUND THE WORLD TICKETS / RTW TICKETS

You have to shop around for the cheapest around the world ticket prices. You can obtain the best deals by combining different routes of the same airline or its code sharers.

Normally, two one way tickets are (considerably) more expensive than 2 times half the price of a return ticket. However, if you fly on multiple routes of the same airline orcode sharer (like KLM and AIR FRANCE) and terminate your trip at the airport where you started, it is often possible to fly for half the price of a regular return ticket per section. Also, several airlines and airline alliances offer special round-the-world packages. In general, it takes some effort to find the cheapest constructions. Also, you have to take into account extra fuel charges, taxes etc. Travel Organizations within the EU are obligated to advertise prices including to called "unavoidable costs" (like fuel charges and airport taxes). In that way it is easier to compare prices.
