Usually people plan RTW trips over quite a few months, saving up the necessary stash of cash and making preparations that can include quitting a job and selling a house – but in case you needed an extra push over the decision-making edge in order to take the plunge and get those RTW air tickets, the RTW ticket deals that come up at the start of every month are as good an excuse as any I can think of.
This month, you can spend as little as $1899 and take a wonderfully beach-centric trip from San Francisco that includes Sydney, Fiji, and Honolulu. For under $2499 you can take a trip from L.A. that includes London and Paris as well as Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Beijing. And although $4649 might sound like a lot of money, when you consider that you’ll be getting something like 14 airline tickets for that price, it can be downright cheap.
