In almost all cases, as long as you are prepared to take indirect flights, you can construct your own Round The World itinerary using one way fares and undercut the LGLOB26.”

Decide Where To Start From!

Oneworld LGLOB26 tickets are priced according to the country of departure, even when that ticket is sold in another country. The table shows the relative LGLOB26 fare levels from various countries around the world when converted into UK Pounds Sterling (GBP)*.

In many cases it may be worth departing from a country other than your own and purchasing an additional positioning flight to and from the point of depature.

Within Europe departing from Norway rather than the UK or one of the Eurozone nations will result in a saving of around 30% on the base fare.

You would be crazy to purchase a ticket departing from Singapore when departing from Malaysia will save around 28% on the base fare.

Commencing your round the world ticket in a country other than your own effectively creates extra stopovers in the country of departure. It can also provide an extra sidetrip if you don’t want your round the world trip to last a full year. For instance if you are from the UK but choose to depart from Norway you could take a positioning flight to Oslo, spend a few days then commence your round the world ticket by using the first sector to fly from Oslo back to the UK. Spend a few weeks or months back in the UK then commence your round the world trip proper with a flight from the UK to anywhere.

* Equivalent fare levels subject to change due to currency fluctuations.
