Route notes
Why this routing works
This 11-week routing moves westbound from Los Angeles through Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific before returning to Los Angeles via Honolulu. The sequence keeps the trip progressing in one direction, which is usually the cleanest way to structure a multi-stop ticket across this many regions. With 9 stopovers in total, it mixes a few short stays with two longer anchors: 29 nights in Prague at the front of the trip and 11 nights in Tokyo near the end.
Timing is distributed unevenly in a practical way. After the long Prague stay, the itinerary shifts into shorter segments of 6 nights in Athens, 5 in Cairo, 4 in Johannesburg, 6 in New Delhi, 7 in Bangkok, and 3 in Singapore. That pacing suits a ticket built around multiple international sectors, letting each stop function as a defined break between long-haul flights rather than overloading any single stretch.
From a ticketing perspective, this is an economy-class multi-stop itinerary with a sold price range of USD 2,601 to USD 4,241 and a September departure within the Jul-Sep season. The final transpacific section from Tokyo to Honolulu to Los Angeles is a useful way to split the return to the US instead of ending with one uninterrupted long-haul back to the origin. Overall, the route is built around orderly geographic progression, varied stop lengths, and a clear around-the-world-style flow without backtracking.
