The Small Print:
Basically you're allowed 7 stops (including up to 3 in Australia and 3 in New Zealand) and you must travel out and back via Australasia sticking roughly to the routings of the airlines involved- that's the tough bit but check out our unique round the world route planner, and you'll soon discover this is a great RTW on great carriers (with flexible tickets moreover!)
A question we're often asked is why cant we book this online. Well the truth is you can but it would cost a fortune (over £4000) so what we've tried to do on this site is give you as much information as we can, so that you can call up and book with an expert. So here's a very rough guide to stopovers but please don't hold us to it - Mainly because there are many more options and there are some destinations you can only fly into but not out of (which are called surface sectors in the travel industry) ie you need to fly into one destination and out of another destination....yup we know its tricky, so you do need to talk to one of our consultants on 0844 844 2540 if you have any queries and to find your perfect (and affordable) itinerary within mileage..

What does ‘surface’ mean?
This means you will fly in and out of a different city or country. In other words you will travel between them by other means; perhaps by train, bus or boat. These surface sectors ensure that you get to see and experience more of a country - more
