After releasing our Around the World Airfare Report, we have received a ton of great feedback that is only going to make our quarterly updates ever better and more beneficial for you, the RTW traveler.
We know that there are many more providers who sell round the world plane tickets than the eight we reviewed, and the feedback has offered more options. The providers being suggested will be in the mix the next time we update the report in June.
Even though we haven’t reviewed this company yet, we wanted to put up a review page in case you have shopped for or bought a RTW ticket with them. If you have, we want to hear from you.
If you’ve shopped for or used Great Escapade for a RTW ticket, please write a review below and rate them based on the stated criteria. And if there are any other providers that aren’t yet listed, let us know.
