Round the World Flights
Going on a round the world trip is a fantastic experience with unlimited
possibilities.
Before you set off, it is natural to imagine just being in all of those
far away places you have always wanted to visit. What is often harder
to anticipate are the fantastic people, both locals and other travellers,
you will meet along the way. This social interaction is made all the
more enjoyable by you being able to relax and shed your skin in a way
that is rarely possible at home. It is very likely that your travelling
days will stand out as some of the best in your life.
Once you have decided to do a round the world trip, you will need of
course to work out where you want to go, how long for, and on what budget.
This can be a mind-boggling process, especially if you have either lots
of time, or have a healthy budget as you literally have the whole world
to choose from.
All of the staff at Travel Nation are especially well travelled and,
thanks to the generosity of many of our suppliers and a staff travel
fund, all continue to get out there every year. We also
only recruit travel consultants with several years experience in the
travel industry. This means that when you book your trip with us, you
will be dealing with someone who has the skills and experience to help
you get it right.
See the You said it!
section on this website for examples of customer feedback and the About
Us section for details of the people who you will be booking your
trip with.
To get you started either check out our round
the world inspiration zone or follow these tips :
Tip 1 Jot down all of the places you want to visit.
Tip 2 Tell us where you really want to go! Read more
Whilst you may well end up having to alter your route to save money,
don't assume that what you really want to do isn't possible or will
be too expensive. We can give you a quote for any route and will also
be able to tell you what changes need to be made to save you money if
your ideal route is over budget.
Also don't assume that because another travel agent has told you that
your route can't be done that this is the case. This can usually be
translated as 'I have only ever booked very simple round the world trips
and I don't have the skills to do this'
Tip 3 Get them into a rough order of importance. Read more
Have an idea of which destinations are must sees' & which
are might be nice to pop in while I am in the area. It is
handy to know which places can be cut out if your ideal route comes
in over budget.
Tip 4 Arrange your destinations into rough geographic order. Read more
You don't have to keep going in the same direction. Some zig- zagging
or back-tracking is OK (e.g. London - Beijing overland to Hong Kong
- Bangkok - Sydney is fine, whereas London - Bangkok - Cairo - Sydney
wouldn't work so well ..)
Don't assume that you have to 'round the world' i.e..e. you can go
out and back via the same part of the world or out say via Africa
and back via Asia.
Though most RTW trips take in Australia and or New Zealand , you
don't have to go via these countries.
Tip 5 Work out what your budget for your flights is. Read more
Including pre-payable taxes, prices for economy class round the world
tickets range from well under £1,000 for basic routes up to £3,000
for massive ones.
It is worth noting that unlike lots of other products, with round
the world tickets, if you spend more, you tend to get proportionately
more for your money e.g. a trip costing £2,000 will
almost certainly have more than double the number of stops and will
contain less compromises than one costing £1,000.
Tip 6 Call us for advice and a quote on 0845 3444 225 or, if you are furtively
planning your trip at work, send us an email via our quote
form. Read more
If you call, it would be handy if you have a world map at your fingertips.
Also try to call us when you wont be distracted as there may be
a lot of information to take in. There really are people who call us
to plan their big trip while they are in a check-out queue in Tescos!

'Each of us is given some seventy years,
a decent amount of time. In that time you shouldn't be afraid
to take out a year or two or even more to do something not
in the straight path you originally chose, to watch the slow
turning of the stars and clouds and strange peoples.'
