Round-the-world ticket

An example of travelling the world using a RTW ticket. Start in London, travel eastwards through India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Ghana back to London, all using the same ticket with the same airline alliance.

A round-the-world ticket (also known as round-the-world fare or RTW ticket) is a product that enables a traveller to circumnavigate the world on a single itinerary. RTW tickets in the past were generally offered through marketing agreements between airlines on several continents. Now, they are generally offered by airline alliances such as SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld,[1] or by specialist travel agencies that will plan a custom trip for the consumer. Prices vary but are generally in the range of US$2,500–6,000 for an economy class ticket and US$5,000–14,000 for business class.[2] An alternative for a round-the-world ticket is a continent pass.
