Route notes
Why this routing works
This round-the-world routing moves westbound from Washington DC across Europe and Asia, then continues over the Pacific to Hawaii and the US mainland before returning to Washington DC. The stop sequence keeps the trip progressing in one direction, which is a practical fit for a 10-week itinerary with multiple long-haul segments.
The timing is anchored by two longer stays: 27 nights in London and 36 nights in Phuket. Those extended stops reduce the pace early in the ticket and leave the later sectors to function more as shorter onward connections through Tokyo and Honolulu before a final 7 nights in San Diego.
As a business-class RTW, this itinerary fits travelers who want a multi-continent ticket without backtracking. Pricing on this sold example ranged from USD 3,707 to 4,853, and the January departure places the trip within the January to March travel window.
From a ticketing standpoint, the route combines six flight sectors across Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and North America into a single round-the-world framework. That makes the order of cities the key feature here: Washington DC to London to Phuket to Tokyo to Honolulu to San Diego, then home to Washington DC.
