Currently a DONE4 from DAC is about US$300 less than from DEL, which would offset the cost of positioning to DAC.
(I think this makes Bangladesh one of the best places to start an RTW now?)
As of today (for a DONE4) Bangladesh, at $7367, is the cheapest in Asia (OW definition), but only 20th in the world. The cheapest is Yemen ($6055.51, based on yesterday's exchange rates). The others are, in order, Sudan, Namibia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia ($6826.25), Tunisia, Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria ($7,100), Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan ($7257.24).
