In Jules Verne's classic adventure novel, Phileas Fogg had a devil of a time trying to travel around the world in 80 days. But in the 21st century, circumnavigating the globe has become a bit of a breeze: all you need is a round-the-world (RTW) ticket.
If you have 80 to spare, though, you have enough time for a life-changing trip, and the opportunity to visit places that will stay with you forever. But careful planning is essential if you're going to make the most of your precious time.
Just the ticket
.
Buying an RTW ticket can be far cheaper than purchasing separate tickets linking each of your destinations. Normally, RTW tickets allow you to visit up to 16 different places with a minimum of three stops. Most airlines are now part of global alliances, so it’s sensible to pick a ticket with an airline that has multiple partners so you can travel with any of them.

All RTW tickets require you to head in one direction or the other and keep moving the same way. And, just like Phileas Fogg, you’ll have to start and finish your journey in the same place.

Suggested routes: three ideas for your big trip
For adventure: this route offers everything from deserts and diving to mountains and white-water rafting. Start in London and head east to
Delhi and then
Nepal for a Himalayan trek. Backtrack overland to
India and fly to Bangkok, the gateway for
Thailand’s idyllic diving spots.
Move on to
New Zealand’s South Island and Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world, where you can try everything from bungee jumping to mountain biking and river-boarding. From there, it’s a short hop to Sydney and
Australia’s beaches and deserts. Another flight takes you to LA, from where you can drive
Route 66 to the east coast and fly out of New York to London.
For culture and carnivals: if vibrant city life is more your thing, then try this trip. Fly east from London to
Cairo for its markets, museums and the
Pyramids. From there, you could take a quick
cruise down the Nile to Luxor, before heading south to
Cape Town and South Africa, where you can tipple your way along the wine-growing routes just outside the city.
After Cape Town, fly to
Hong Kong, perhaps via Bangkok or
Singapore. One of the world’s most exciting cities, it’s also an essential destination for foodies. The Chinese capital
Beijing is a few hours away by plane, allowing you to set foot on the
Great Wall, before you make the long haul across the Pacific to
San Francisco, the most European of all American cities.
Then drive the Pacific Coast Highway to LA for a taste of Hollywood high life, before flying south to Rio de Janeiro in time for the
carnival. A short journey south is
Buenos Aires, cultural capital of
South America. From there, travel back to London via New York.
For natural wonders: landscape junkies can take this voyage west through some of the most dramatic scenery – deserts, jungle and mountains – on the planet. Begin in Sydney and make your way across Australia, via the Outback, to
Perth, before flying to Bangkok. Travel north to
Chiang Mai, or make a diversion to
Myanmar, currently the hottest destination in Southeast Asia.
Delhi, the starting point for a journey to the deserts of Rajasthan, is just a hop away from Bangkok. Then it’s time for
Africa; a flight to Nairobi and a safari in
Kenya. You could then stop off in Cairo before breaking your journey westwards in a European capital.
Afterwards, travel across the Atlantic to
Brazil and venture north into the Amazonian rainforests. Back in Rio, fly across the south Pacific to New Zealand’s natural delights, before returning to Sydney.

sands of Papohaku
Beach on Molokai. The dolphin
friendly waters of Hulopoe
Bay on Lanai. 
The summit of Haleakala
on Maui. The primal energy of Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii
Island. It won’t be easy choosing which Hawaii island to visit on your first trip to

visitors. All major domestic carriers and many international carriers serve
Oahu, so you can get here from just about anywhere. There are also direct
flights from the U.S. mainland to Maui,
Kauai, and Hawaii Island, but for the most
part, you may need to connect through Oahu to get to the neighbor islands
including Lanai and Molokai.
Then breathe deep. Smell the fresh plumeria in the air.
Visit the historic
landmarks of Hawaii and learn about the rich culture of the islands.
Explore off-the-beaten-path destinations, from hidden beaches
to small towns that you won’t find on a postcard.

Explore Hawaii’s
six unique islands and you’re sure to find your first trip to Hawaii won’t be
your last. Learn more about things
