Around the World - Cheap tickets!

Sometimes it's not about where you're going, it's just about the going. That's what this ticket type is all about, maximum time away for minimum expenditure. There's less choice of destinations, but at these prices, who really cares?

More travel and less money is a winning combination in anyone's book. Although the choice of stops is less varied than on some other tickets, you can always make up for that using your imagination (and your extra time and money)!
