Special March 2011 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

We usually talk about the air ticket deals we post each month as “RTW trips,” because that’s the most common shorthand for long-term travel. At the same time, we call them “multi-stop tickets” in the title of each post – because that’s really all they are.

Some round-the-world tickets you can buy do require you to move in a continuous direction around the globe with no back-tracking, making them more traditionally RTW trips. The tickets available on BootsnAll are simply multi-stop tickets with which you can create any itinerary you like. You not only don’t have to circumnavigate the planet, you can go back and forth between two cities 12 times if you feel like it.

We bring this up because while it’s something that’s always in the back of our minds, we’re reminded of it more directly now and then – like when we looked at the multi-stop ticket deals available for March. The first of these includes three different stops in India plus one in Hong Kong and one in London – and that’s it. That’s far from what most people would consider a RTW trip, but if you’re interesting in exploring India in more depth with a couple other destinations thrown in for fun it could be your ideal itinerary.

The ticket deals we post each month are meant to help inspire you – if one of them strikes your fancy as something that sounds like the perfect trip, that’s fantastic. And if they help you think outside the box of the more typical continuing-in-one-direction-around-the-planet trip, that’s even better.
