Route notes
Why this routing works
This itinerary is built as a straightforward out-and-back loop: Vilnius to Bangkok, onward to Ho Chi Minh City, then Manila, and back to Vilnius. Keeping the Southeast Asia stops in a single forward sequence avoids backtracking and fits a 19-week trip with three extended stays.
The timing is weighted toward longer stopovers rather than frequent flight changes, with 32 nights in Bangkok, 71 nights in Ho Chi Minh City, and 29 nights in Manila. That pacing keeps the air segments limited to the core international links while spreading the trip across October to December.
Ticketing works cleanly as a multi-stop economy fare because each city is linked by flown sectors with no surface gap to manage. The route returns to the origin city at the end, which simplifies the overall structure while still allowing substantial time in each stop.
