Sometimes the words “cheap tickets” end up being more of a tease than anything else. I mean, you see sale offers for things so often – especially at this time of year – that no one could blame you for being jaded when it comes to the offers of discounts on everything from toasters to travel. But sometimes, when the stars align properly, words like “cheap tickets” aren’t false advertising. And the deals on multi-stop tickets this month from BootsnAll are really worth considering.
Through the end of December, you can choose from an itinerary covering some of Asia’s biggest cities for less than $1600, a jaunt through the highlights of the South Pacific for just over $2000, or a swing through two Asian cities and two European cities for under $1750. Yes, these are definitely tickets you’ll want to check out. Because as you probably know, simple round-trip flights to Europe and Asia alone often cost as much as the tickets listed here!
Here are the December RTW ticket deals – these prices are good through December 31, 2008.
- San Francisco – Hong Kong – Bangkok – Bombay / Mumbai – Bangalore – Singapore – San Francisco from US$1599 (plus taxes)
- New York – Singapore – Bangkok – Rome – London – New York from US$1749 (plus taxes)
- Los Angeles – Nadi (Fiji) – Auckland – Sydney – Bali (Denpasar) – Hong Kong – Los Angeles from US$2099 (plus taxes)
And if these itineraries don’t tickle your fancy completely, that doesn’t mean you have to twiddle your thumbs until next month’s deals come out – start planning your own customized RTW trip in seconds and hit just the cities you want.
I was just in Bangkok about 10 days ago before the protests and it a crazy and interesting place. But I would wait until the political situation settles before booking any trips there.
We want to go to Sydney but stop off in Singapore on the way when is the cheapest time to go and how much would it be. Return. Economy. Good airline ie Singapore or Malaysian – onw with a good safety track record. Might even stop off somewhere else for a couple of days if it is cheap enough. Getting on a bit so want a decent airline with leg room etc. Our dates are completely flexible but thought Nov 2009 or Jan Feb 2010
air asia X is the cheapest airline around in asia at the moment, not the comfiest flying, but if your not sitting next to anyone it can be ok
AirAsiaX… be careful.
Most recently, my wife and I were stranded in Abu Dhabi when AirAsiaX announced they were canceling service to/from Abu Dhabi in January this year. They didn’t notify us, their stranded passengers, until Feb 10th. Neither did they offer any accommodation nor answer our emails asking for help. We had to get back to Malaysia on our own. They won’t reimburse our additional expenses either.
They said they would refund the Abu Dhabi/Kuala Lumpur portion of our trip, but it will take them 30-50 days to process the refund. Such an attitude!
Watch out for these guys. If you are considering using AirAsiaX, It might be a good idea to develop a plan B… just in case.
