Why book it through AirTreks
Your route checked before you commit
A consultant maps your cities against the oneworld Explorer rules: the continent count, the 16-flight cap, and the one-direction rule. You find out where the rules bite before the ticket is issued, not at the airport.
Someone to call or email
The alliance sells the pass. It doesn't give you a person. With us you have a consultant who knows your whole itinerary, before you go and while you travel.
Both options, side by side
If a custom AirTreks ticket fits your route better than oneworld Explorer, we show you both and you choose.
When a custom ticket fits better
oneworld Explorer is good value when your trip fits its network. A custom AirTreks ticket is the better choice when your route needs any of these:
- An airline outside oneworld, such as Emirates, Singapore Airlines or Icelandair
- Doubling back between continents
- A trip that doesn't cross both oceans
- Starting and finishing in different cities
