(Flying into and out of different airports, making your way between them
by other means - over land or over water)
By building in the right surface sectors into your trip, you can really
get the most out of your trip.
- You see much more of the world - and not just cities with airports.
- They don't usually cost any more than single stops, so you can get
more destintions out of your ticket for the same price.
- By doing some sections of your journey overland, you can visit regions
and countries that wouldn't have otherwise been possible at the fare
you have paid.
- Surface sectors are environmentally friendly. By doing part of your
journey by local train or bus, you will be responsible for less CO2
than by doing your entire trip by air.
Classic surface sectors:
- Bangkok / surface / Singapore
- Bali / surface / Jakarta
- Nairobi / surface / Victoria Falls
- Victoria Falls / surface / Cape Town
- Bombay / surface / Kathmandu
- Hanoi / surface / Beijing, Hong Kong or Ho Chi Minh
- Lima / surface / Rio
- New York / surface / San Francisco
- L.A. / surface / Mexico
- Queenstown / surface / Auckland
- Cairns / surface / Sydney

Our favourite one of all:
Surface sectors that can't be done because of border restrictions or
are way too dangerous to attempt:
- India to Thailand via Myanmar
- Panama to Colombia overland
- Egypt to Kenya via Sudan
