Route notes
Why this routing works
This 11-week round-the-world routing starts in Lihue and moves west through Asia in a logical progression: Tokyo, Seoul, Chiang Mai, and Colombo. The stop lengths are concentrated in Northeast and Southeast Asia, with 5 nights in Tokyo, 12 in Seoul, 6 in Chiang Mai, and 5 in Colombo, which helps balance multiple flight segments without making the pace too rushed.
From South Asia, the ticket continues to Nairobi and Dubai before shifting into Europe. The itinerary uses two overland breaks: Dubai to Rome, and Rome to London. Building those surface sectors into the plan can be useful for travelers who want flexibility between flight regions while still keeping the long-haul framework on one RTW ticket.
After London, the routing resumes by air to Glasgow, then Reykjavik, and finishes in New York City. That creates a clean final transatlantic sequence and avoids backtracking late in the trip. With Reykjavik set at 4 nights near the end, the last section remains structured rather than compressed.
In economy class, this route is priced from USD 2,571 to USD 3,921, based on the provided sample. A June departure fits the stated Apr-Jun season, and the itinerary combines 12 cities across North America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe with a mix of flight segments and planned overland gaps.
