Round The World Airfare Options
You might be thinking, “why is there so few airline options when it comes to round the world airfares”? well that’s
because there are only a few airlines that do these types of airfares well. The
around the world airfares that originate in Australia are mostly all designed for the Australian market, these airlines have spent years perfecting their airfares for the Australian traveler.
Lufthansa Group
Lufthansa is the national carrier of Germany and the Lufthansa Group is also the parent company of Austrian Airlines,
Swiss International Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings. Amazingly, this makes them larger than Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific and British Airways combined!! Lufthansa don’t actually fly to Australia, but they have teamed up with just about every quality airline that departs from our shores. It doesn’t matter if you’re flying around the world from Melbourne or Rockhampton, they have you covered.
Finnair
Finnair don’t have the fleet size of Lufthansa but they know how to use what they do have.
Finnair is a full
oneworld member and because of this, their reach goes fare and wide. As an example, you can use a Finnair fare to travel from Australia to South America, all the way from there to North America and only when you depart from the USA will you board your first Finnair aircraft. The team at Finnair are so in tune with what Australians are looking for!
Qantas
Qantas has some very good looking
RTW airfares, that have routes via South or North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Qantas has teamed up with British Airways, LATAM, American Airlines and Iberian Airlines to get you to places that Qantas don’t fly to. They can be very good value when Qantas has a sale but outside of sale periods, there are better options if you’re looking to save money. If you are a Qantas Frequent Flyer this could be a great option for you.
Emirates
Emirates is another excellent airline for
round-the-world airfares, with plenty of options if you’re interested in visiting the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The airline flies direct to many European cities from its hub in Dubai, offering some of the best
round-the-world airfare deals available today. As a bonus, you can earn Qantas Frequent Flyer miles on international flights from Emirates.
Cathay Pacific
As the flag carrier of Hong Kong,
Cathay Pacific is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for round-the-world airfares from Australia. If you choose Cathay Pacific for your round-the-world trip, you’ll get an incredible onboard experience, no matter if you choose economy, premium economy, or business class. You’ll also have the ability to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer miles on your world travel.
