is it possible to get some sort of one world explorer ticket from the US?
I dont use Ryanair and Easyjet because they dont fly to where I want to go, you usually have to take a train or coach to the actual place you thought you were going eg Brussels/Charleroi (I know they dont now but that was the last flight I took)
they are a fair bit off the standard of SOuthwest, Easyjet is nearer but still a really "economy" company
