2020.02.12 published

Shocking! Is a Round-the-World Trip Only 330,000 Yen?

What image comes to mind when you hear “around the world”?

I think most people perceive it as “sounds fun, but expensive.”

However, there are incredibly cheap flights available that ordinary people can actually take advantage of.

This is the 【Round-the-World Ticket】.

Amazingly, with this special ticket, you can go around the world starting from the 300,000 yen range.

While the idea of a round-the-world trip might seem daunting, when you hear that it can be done for 300,000 yen, it changes the conversation. You must be curious about what it involves...!

What is a Round-the-World Ticket?

A round-the-world ticket is a set of multiple tickets needed to travel from a departure point, circle the globe, and return to the starting point.

There are several types of round-the-world tickets, each with different rules regarding the number of countries you can visit, the number of flights available, and restrictions on distances.

For example, the round-the-world ticket offered by “Oneworld” allows you to travel around the world using airlines like Japan Airlines (JAL), American Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, and Finnair.

Each ticket comes with conditions such as “a maximum of 16 stops,” “up to 4 continents,” and “must be used within one year,” but as long as you follow these rules, it is considered a magical ticket that allows you to fly at a lower price than arranging tickets separately, and it is well-known among travel enthusiasts.

Plus!!

The pricing for round-the-world tickets does not change throughout the year, so you can use them during high seasons like New Year, summer vacations, and Golden Week without paying more.

There are over 10 types of round-the-world tickets available worldwide, each slightly different. In this article, I’ll introduce the features of the three main groups of round-the-world tickets＊

【Round-the-World Ticket】 Oneworld Explorer

First, let’s introduce the "Oneworld Explorer," a round-the-world ticket issued by Oneworld that can be used with JAL.

The pricing scheme for the Oneworld Explorer round-the-world ticket is divided into plans for "3 continents," "4 continents," "5 continents," and "6 continents."

In any plan, you can take up to 16 flights.

＜Pricing＞

The price is an astonishing 330,000 yen for economy class and 650,000 yen for business class.

(A round-trip to Hawaii in business class costs about 400,000 yen, to Paris about 500,000 yen, and to New York around 800,000 yen, so you can see how affordable a round-the-world ticket is...!)

The price varies based on the number of continents you wish to visit and the class of seats used.＊

＜Available Airlines＞

① American Airlines

② British Airways

③ Cathay Pacific

④ Finnair

⑤ Iberia

【Round-the-World Ticket】 Global Explorer

The “Global Explorer” is also a round-the-world ticket issued by Oneworld and can be used with an additional 12 airlines compared to the previously mentioned "Oneworld Explorer."

The pricing structure is based on mileage traveled (distance) rather than the number of continents.

＜Pricing＞

The price is similar to that of Oneworld, so people tend to choose based on the number of available airlines and whether they prefer a continental count or a mileage count.

However, for popular honeymoon options in business or first class, there is only a plan for up to 34,000 miles, and if you choose plans for up to 29,000 miles or 39,000 miles, they are only available in economy class, so caution is advised.

＜Available Airlines＞

① 14 airlines in the Oneworld alliance

② Aer Lingus

③ Alaska Airlines

④ Horizon Air

⑤ Bangkok Airways

⑥ Fiji Airways

⑦ Jetstar

⑧ Jetstar Asia

⑨ Jetstar Japan

⑩ Jetstar Pacific

⑪ Alitalia

⑫ WestJet

⑬ Codeshare flights operated by Air Tahiti Nui and Qantas, etc.
