A  round the world flight or (RTW) is normally defined as one that travels over both the Eastern hemisphere (EH), and Atlantic/Pacific (AP). On a roundtheworldflights.com RTW itinerary you can include multiple stops, but as long as the primary rule—going via Asia/Africa (EH/AF) and over the Pacific (AP) - is met, you’ve done it, you’ve traveled around the world.


Now there is usually a mileage limit of around 29,000 miles as well. Though to confuse things further not every RTW ticket keeps to those rules and some allow extra mileage. roundtheworldflights.com also considers a multi-stop RTW any trip that goes to Australia or New Zealand with stopovers en route and out in back in any direction. These can be any cities in any order with any combination of overland travel (surface sectors) in between. Basically heck out our planner below to start seeing what you can get for your money.
