Round the World Travel Guide
Buy Tickets at Once vs. Buying on the Road
There are 2 ways to go about getting the air tickets you need for your round the world trip:
Buy 'em all before you leave »
Why?
Locking in all the fares can save money up-front
Set a route now
You always know where you're going
Spend time enjoying your trip, not worrying about the next plane ticket
Dates & tickets assure you of a seat no standby or waiting
You can make changes if you need to
Tickets are good for a year
|
Buy 'em as you travel »
Why?
Less $$ to spend up-front
You aren't locked in to a set route or dates
Enjoy the flexibility you have for if your plans change
Take advantage of fare & local deals closer to the time you're flying
Travel as long as you want
Get another ticket as you want or need to
Don't have to carry and worry about keeping so many tickets safe
|
Pretty simple, no? Build your itinerary (or at least decide where you want to fly to first), and take advantage of newsletters and other info to help you get good deals and better understand your tickets.
