Route notes
Why this routing works
This 5-week economy itinerary is structured as a west-to-east arc from Minneapolis to London, then onward to Addis Ababa before continuing into East Africa. The routing uses a surface sector between Addis Ababa and Kilimanjaro, shown by the double slash in the route, which means that portion is handled overland rather than by air on the ticket.
From Kilimanjaro, the ticket resumes with flights to Dar es Salaam, then Nairobi, before turning back toward Europe for an 11-night stop in Paris and the final return to Minneapolis. That sequencing keeps the air segments grouped logically around the overland section and separates the two longer European stays, with 6 nights in London at the start and 11 nights in Paris near the end.
With a July departure in the Jul-Sep travel window, this is a multi-stop itinerary rather than a round-the-world ticket, but it still covers multiple regions on one booking. The sold range on this route was USD 4,830 to USD 6,323 in economy, with stop durations specifically listed for London, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and Paris.
