I hadn't heard of tripeedo and I'm sure I'll end up using that in the future. I wanted to submit a different method which is actually taking the most expensive portion of my RTW trip and making it nearly free. Around 4-5 months ago I began avidly ready the FlyerTalk forums and discovered a wealth of knowledge regarding obtaining frequent flier miles for free (with a little effort). Since that date, I have already received more than enough miles to pay for all of the major flights on my trip. For the smaller flights, I'll still use local low cost carriers so I don't waste valuable miles on flights I could purchase cheaply. I noticed that the Man vs Debt site actually mentions this and links to Chris Guillebeau’s new ebook that details this strategy. Honestly I wish I would have thought about this earlier and written it myself. I did complete a mini-writeup which I posted on the RTW bootsnall and lonely planet thorn tree forums. I haven't personally read the ebook but I'm sure all the info is scattered throughout the FlyerTalk forums. Anyways, just wanted to put it out there as I have already booked the first flight of my trip for the low price of $10, with many more to come. Nice post.

This is especially handy when you're thinking about flying (halfway) around the world and you have no idea which budget airlines operate in e.g. South-East Asia or Africa.
