So, what’s this modern day Phileas Fogg thing?
Round-the-world flight tickets can be something of a misnomer — many of those sold under the banner don’t complete anything like a circumnavigation. Indeed, the cheapest are effectively returns to Australia or New Zealand with a couple of stopovers built in where you’d be changing planes anyway. On the flipside, however, some of the more complicated itineraries end up stopping all over the place, with numerous legs where you make your own way overland rather than fly.
How do I book them, then?
