How to travel around the world.
Steps
If you want to go by plane, or by plane for parts of the trip, there are Around the World tickets. These tickets allow you to fly from city to city around the globe on your own schedule for significantly less than you'd have paid for individual tickets. A good place to start looking for these is Airtreks.
Tips
Airtreks is not always the cheapest. Try calling the airlines directly and asking for their round the world desk to compare prices. Each airline is part of an alliance. For example United Airlines is part of the Star Alliance and each alliance will book your tickets using their member carriers.
