One booking, multiple stops. Ideal for European whistle-stops, business circuits, gap-year loops and round-the-world trips. Add three or more legs in sequence — often cheaper than booking them separately and with through-check protection if flights run late.
When one ticket with several legs beats half a dozen separate bookings
Airline alliances (oneworld Explorer, Star Alliance Round the World) offer RTW fares with 3–16 stops for £3,000–7,000 — cheaper than buying point-to-point tickets across the same loop.
London → Frankfurt → Dubai → Singapore → London in one ticket. Through-checked baggage, single itinerary in your PNR, and one invoice for expenses.
South America loop (LHR → Lima → Santiago → Buenos Aires → LHR) or Southeast Asia (LHR → Bangkok → Ho Chi Minh → Bali → LHR) price well as multi-city bookings, typically 15–25% below three separate tickets.
