We have very often presented you with sample round-the-world itineraries for under €1,000. While they are always pretty cool, they come with some problems. The travel periods are usually very limited, and you have to take the cities that we selected, though your interests may lie elsewhere.
That’s why this time we took a different approach. We’ve compiled a list of many attractive one-way tickets, and are giving you the tools to create your own round-the-world trip, according to your personal interests. And for those, who are not up to the task, we’ve still included two example routings in the end.
To give you a little taste of what’s coming, here’s a map displaying the cities that our one-way deals cover:

Two Example Routings
While we’ve given you a bunch of one-way tickets, piecing them together is not so easy, as not all tickets are available in the same travel periods. The month with best availability overall seems to be September. We’ve put together two example routings, as to give you an idea of what such a trip could look like
Option 1: India & US West Coast within 10 Days for €817
Our first option might be quite attractive for people who don’t have much time. The whole trip only takes 10 days, and gets you to Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Seattle, Los Angeles, and London. The total price is only €817, and adding luggage only increases the total price by less than €120.
| Date | From | To | Airline | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 18 | Prague | Ahmedabad | Azerbaijan Airlines | €155 (€204 w/ luggage) |
| September 21 | Ahmedabad | Mumbai | IndiGo | €39 |

| September 26 | Seattle | Los Angeles | American Airlines | €129 (€164 with luggage) |
| September 28 | Los Angeles | London | Norse Atlantic | €180 (€214 with luggage) |
| Total: | €817 (€935 with luggage) |
Option 2: New York, Halifax & 2 Weeks in Japan (from/to Paris)
This is an itinerary for those with a bit more time and those who like Japan. First, you’d fly from Paris to New York, then head over to Halifax in Canada. From there, you fly to Tokyo and will stay in Japan for 2 weeks, exploring the country (e.g. using a rail pass). You then get 19 hours in Seoul before flying back to Paris. The flight tickets cost €1,068. Luggage surcharges are minimal, amounting to less than €90 total.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 23 | Paris | New York | French Bee | €206 (€262 w/ luggage) |

| October 14 | Seoul | Paris | T’Way | Same ticket |
| Total: | €1,068 (€1,155 with luggage) |
Editor’s Note: Each one of these deals is pretty cool, but probably only 3-4 are something that one realistically considers to book. But everyone probably has their own 3-4 that they favour. Hopefully, you were able to find something that suits you.
