Route notes
Why this routing works
This 7-week round-the-world itinerary starts in Los Angeles and uses Hawaii as the initial Pacific stepping stone, routing through Lihue and Honolulu before the long-haul segment to Denpasar Bali. That sequence breaks up the westbound crossing and sets up the longest ground stay of the trip: 21 nights in Bali.
From Bali, the routing continues into Thailand via Trat and then Bangkok, keeping the Southeast Asia portion in a logical regional sequence before moving on to Europe. Malaga is the final overseas stop, with 6 nights in southern Spain, before the itinerary closes in Denver rather than returning to the original departure city.
As a business-class RTW ticket, this routing fits travelers who want fewer booking pieces across several regions while keeping the trip on one structured long-haul plan. The stop pattern mixes shorter transit points with longer stays, which helps balance a multi-continent ticket without requiring a rushed pace.
With departure in January and travel falling in the Jan-Mar season, the itinerary is timed as a winter departure from the US with all major long-haul sectors positioned in a continuous westbound flow. The sold price range for this business-class routing was USD 16,904 to 22,129.
