Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world itinerary is structured as an open-jaw route with two overland segments: into Krakow and into Albany. That format lets the flight ticket cover the long-haul framework while leaving room for surface travel between flight points, rather than forcing every movement onto one ticket.
The sequence moves from Tokyo into Europe, then onward to Istanbul before crossing to the United States. After the overland arrival into Albany, the ticket resumes with a short hop to New York City and then closes the loop with the return to Tokyo. For a 6-week trip, that pacing keeps the route compact while still spanning Asia, Europe, and North America.
In economy class, the published sold range for this routing was USD 2,018 to 3,078, with departure in August. As an RTW ticket, the value here is in the order of the long-haul sectors and the use of open jaws, which can be useful when the trip does not require backtracking to the same airport at every stop.
