Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world routing starts and ends in Turin, with the first overland break used between Turin and Trivandrum. From there, the ticket resumes in India at Chennai, then continues into Vietnam with a second overland gap ending in Ho Chi Minh City before a flight onward to Hanoi. That structure works well for travelers who want to handle two regional surface segments themselves while keeping the long-haul framework on one ticket.
After Southeast Asia, the route moves to Taipei for a 6-night stop, then crosses the Pacific to San Francisco for the longest scheduled stay at 19 nights. The U.S. section then steps across the country in sequence—Los Angeles, Orlando, and Raleigh—before the final return to Turin. Keeping the U.S. stops in a west-to-east flow helps avoid backtracking before the transatlantic flight home.
In economy class, this itinerary is built around 11 weeks on the road and fits a broad January to March travel window, with departure in January. The sold price range for this routing was USD 3,831 to USD 5,016. With 11 total stop points and two intentional overland sectors, it is a practical example of an RTW ticket that combines fixed intercontinental flights with flexible ground arrangements in selected regions.
