Well. not nothing as i have been reading some threads, but maybe someone could help me out. What I am looking for is a mini-RTW, all i need is 4-5 stopovers. I live near T.O, but am willing to travel to NYC or somewhere to get started. I am going volunteering in India next summer so DEL is a must! I figured that I could spend just a little more money to get extra stopovers than a regular YYZ-DEL RT. So basically, I'd like 1 europe stopover (It would be probably LHR or CDG i assume) then on to DEL, from there I'd like a couple more stopovers in asia- any combination of BKK, HKG, PEK, NRT - i'm a little flexible and possibly LAX or YVR (not necessary though)
Would I be better off getting an alliance RTW, 2-carrier RTW, or some sort of consolidated one-way fares? I've looked into something like airtrek.com- how are these sort of dot.com companies? thanks to all.
Oh yeah.. depending on the price mileage accrual will be a pretty good factor as well!

If you know absolutely nothing about RTW's, your best bet is to go to a travel agency and ask. Generally RTW fares are cheaper in Canada than the USA.

If you're only going to a few places, then maybe a RTW may not be your best bet. RTW's are only worth it if you plan to travel in Business or First class. Generally point to point fares or a customized RTW itinerary might work out cheaper than some one the published RTW fares - and trust me there are many!

I just completed RTW using the new KLM - Northwest fare. Fifteen airlines are part of this alliance. I also started in Canada and this was the least expensive RTW I could find starting in Canada. Jet Airways an Indian carrier is part of the alliance and may help with India connections. This web link has some information http://www.airtimetable.com/rtwframes.htm , all the fares are from the U.S. however, fares much lower from Canada. Good luck
