Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world itinerary uses two overland breaks to keep the flight path efficient: Detroit to Stockholm is handled outside the ticketed air segments, and Thira to New Delhi is also reached overland before flights resume within India. That structure lets the ticket focus on the long-haul and regional flights while leaving flexibility between selected stops.
The routing then moves in a clear eastbound sequence: Scandinavia into central and southern Europe, onward to India, then Southeast Asia, Bali, and back to Detroit. For a 5-week trip in economy, this is a practical way to cover multiple regions without repeated backtracking, with the final long-haul return placed after the Asia segment.
Ticketing is built around open-jaw logic at the overland points and a mix of short regional sectors with the round-the-world framework. Confirmed stays are relatively short where listed, including 4 nights in Zurich, 3 in Thira, 3 in Singapore, and 4 in Denpasar Bali, which helps pace the route across several flight segments in a limited timeframe.
With departure in June and a total price range of USD 1,788 to USD 2,728 in economy, this itinerary fits travelers who want a multi-region RTW structure at a relatively moderate fare level. The sequencing is best suited to travelers comfortable with several flight changes and a couple of self-managed overland transitions.
