Route notes
Why this routing works
This three-week economy itinerary is structured as an open-jaw and multi-stop ticket: Seattle is the origin, Paris is the first ticketed arrival, and the route then continues by air from Dubrovnik to Chiang Mai to Tokyo before returning to Seattle. The double slash in the routing indicates an overland segment before Paris, which can be useful when the trip does not begin with a direct flight from the home city into the first European stop.
Sequencing moves west-to-east overall, linking Europe, Southeast Asia, and East Asia in one ticket before crossing the Pacific back to the US. For a short duration like three weeks, this order helps keep the trip progressing in one direction rather than backtracking between regions.
From a ticketing standpoint, combining Paris, Dubrovnik, Chiang Mai, and Tokyo on one economy itinerary keeps the stop pattern fixed while covering three regions in a single booking. With travel in July and a sold range of $3,546 to $4,642, this is positioned as a compact peak-season multi-stop rather than a long, open-ended round-the-world plan.
