I am trying to find an airline ticket that allows you to travel anywhere in the world from east to west but with in a six month time period. I have heard of it, but i am beginning to wonder if it really exists. If you have any idea about this or even something like this please let me know...I would be so grateful <BR> <BR>Thanks, Deb

It's called a round-the-world ticket. Have you talked to a travel agent?

Deborah-- <BR> <BR>I seem to remember reading something about a ticket that can be used in asia for that period--anywhere, anytime within six month time frame. Try searching frommers-- <BR> <BR>Good luck

Hi, Deborah, <BR>Check out http://www.airtreks.com/index.html <BR>Most major international airlines have ATW fares, some with mileage limits that prevent doubling back, etc., or "northern" (eg Japan) vs. "southern" (eg Australia) pricing depending on carrier. <BR>Happy planning!

Deborah, <BR>I've never done it, but a friend of mine used a ticket like this some years ago. Almost every US carrier offers this round-the-world ticket. You pay a flat fare and then can travel around the world within a time period. The catch is that you must travel in only one direction -- no backtracks allowed. You must, therefore, plan your itinerary carefully. Start calling the airlines' international desks and see what they say. <BR>Good fun! <BR>suzann

Try Qantas - they do RTW flights. <BR>

It's actually fairly common. The British Airways/Quantas et al tie-up does it. <BR> <BR>www.trailfinders.com - they will organise it for you. Trip length canb vary from 3 weeks to 12 months. <BR> <BR>regards
