Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world ticket starts and ends in Porto and uses a westbound sequence through North America, the Pacific, Asia, Africa, South America, the Caribbean and back to Europe. The early section is structured with shorter stays in Newark and Hong Kong around longer stops in Portland, Nadi and New Delhi, which helps balance positioning flights with more substantial time on the ground.
A notable logistics feature is the surface break in southern Africa: the ticket flies into Antananarivo, then resumes from Lusaka after an overland segment, before continuing to Windhoek. On an RTW fare, this kind of open-jaw can be a practical way to connect regions when the trip plan includes non-flying ground movement between ticketed points.
Timing-wise, the itinerary mixes brief transit-style stops with longer stays of 10 to 21 nights, especially in Portland, New Delhi, Antananarivo, Rio de Janeiro, Havana and Marrakech. That spacing reduces the number of rapid back-to-back flight days across a long global routing and makes an economy-class RTW more manageable over a seven-week framework.
From a ticketing standpoint, this is a complex economy RTW with 16 listed points including the return to Porto, plus one overland section. The published sample price range is USD 6,988 to USD 10,660, with departure in July and a Jul-Sep season window.
