Route notes
Why this routing works
This 13-week business-class routing starts and ends in Chiang Mai, using a short opening hop to Bangkok before moving west through Amman, Istanbul, and Madrid, then continuing across the Atlantic to Medellin and Panama City. From there it moves north to Vancouver, crosses the Pacific to Nagoya, and closes the circle back in Chiang Mai. The sequence keeps the trip moving in one broad direction rather than doubling back between regions.
The longest scheduled stay is in Istanbul at 26 nights, followed by Medellin at 16 nights and Madrid at 10 nights, with a shorter 4-night stop in Panama City. That mix of longer stays and shorter transit points suits a trip where the flight structure does most of the work up front, while leaving substantial time on the ground in selected cities.
As a multi-stop ticket, this kind of itinerary is built around linking several long-haul regions on one plan instead of pricing each flight separately. With sectors spanning Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, and Japan, the value is in coordinating the order of cities, the long-distance crossings, and the final return to the original starting point in Chiang Mai.
With departure in March and a listed season of January through March, timing is anchored to the first quarter of the year. The published entry point for this sample route is from US$15,259 in business class, with ten total stop points including the return to Chiang Mai.
