Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world routing starts in Boston, moves east through Frankfurt and Heraklion, then continues to Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, Denpasar Bali, and Taipei before crossing the Pacific to Los Angeles. From there, it turns south to San Jose and Lima, then finishes back in the US in Tallahassee. The sequence keeps the trip moving in one broad direction rather than backtracking between regions.
The stop pattern mixes long stays with a few short operational breaks. Frankfurt, Heraklion, Colombo, Denpasar Bali, San Jose, and Lima carry the bulk of the trip time, while Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, and Los Angeles function as shorter stops that help connect the larger overland rhythm of the ticket. That balance is typical of an economy RTW fare where a handful of major stays are combined with brief positioning points.
At 18 weeks total, this itinerary is paced for travelers who want extended time in multiple regions without turning every city into a major stop. July departure timing places the whole ticket in the Jul-Sep season window, so the route is structured around a fixed long-haul sequence with room for substantial stays between flights. With a sold price range of USD 3,326 to 5,073 in economy, this is a relatively accessible long-duration RTW built around stop count and timing rather than premium cabin complexity.
