Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world itinerary moves westbound from Rome across Asia and the Pacific before crossing North America and returning to Europe. The sequence keeps the route directional: Bangkok first, then Bali and Tokyo, followed by Nadi, Honolulu, Vancouver, and New York City before the final flight back to Rome.
At 12 weeks, the pacing is built around longer stays rather than frequent flight changes. The stop pattern is 19 nights in Bangkok, 10 in Denpasar Bali, 14 in Tokyo, 10 in Nadi, 8 in Honolulu, 7 in Vancouver, and 14 in New York City, which spreads the flying across seven stopovers and leaves relatively few flight days for the overall trip length.
From a ticketing standpoint, this is a true RTW structure in economy, combining Asia, the Pacific, and North America on one continuous itinerary. The route includes several long-haul sectors and a transpacific crossing, so keeping the stop order fixed is what makes the fare structure and overall mileage work efficiently.
With departure in July and travel running in the Jul-Sep season, the itinerary fits a single summer-to-early-autumn window. The sold price range for this routing was USD 2,598 to USD 3,964 in economy, which frames it as a long-duration multi-continent itinerary built around stopovers rather than open-ended one-way tickets.
