Your around the world adventure does not have to begin in Australia. As our members discovered this week it is often more cost-efficient to start a round the world trip or multi-leg international adventure from another country.

Our members have discovered that picking up a cheap trip to New Zealand and commencing a round the world trip or multi-leg journey from Auckland can save you hundreds!

However, like most things in life that seems too good to be true, there are a few glitches in this ingenious plan. Our members caution would-be eager globe-trotters to carefully read the fine-print before embarking on a round the world adventure using this strategy. For example in the 'one-world' fare rules, it specifically states that if a round the world journey originates in one country but is purchased in another, the higher fare shall apply.

Another rule to watch out for is that there are often a maximum of two stop-overs permitted in any given continent. However, our members can attest to the fact that the enforcement of such rules can often depend on the person on the other end of the telephone line when arranging these flights.

Good luck, but tread with caution! Add your tales of success or failure at this strategy HERE.
