Round the world in Discount airlines
It's now possible to travel around the world entirely on low-cost carriers, although true long-distance LCCs are few and far between.
A sample itinerary:
London-Stansted to Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia X
Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on Air Asia, Tiger, Jetstar, or by train
Singapore to Melbourne on Tiger via Perth or Jetstar via Darwin
Melbourne to Honolulu on Jetstar
Honolulu to Vancouver on WestJet
Vancouver to London-Gatwick on Air Transat
A longer route from London to Singapore:
London-Gatwick to Istanbul on EasyJet
Istanbul to Sharjah (Dubai) on Air Arabia
Dubai to Chennai on Jazeera, Air-India Express
Chennai to Singapore on Tiger, Air-India Express
The main danger with booking an LCC RTW is that low-cost carriers change routes very rapidly and, if a ticket along your route is cancelled, or the airline goes bust (Zoom Transatlatic and Oasis to Hong Kong and Trans Atlantic went bust last year, many more have gone bust this year), the airline may not be responsible for anything more than refunding your money (and most debit cards dont cover airlines going bust and some credit cards only cover amounts lost to over £100) and even that isn't always guaranteed ? even if there are no other cheap options for getting from point A to point B anymore. Even changing dates is usually expensive or impossible. That's fine if you're going to set points for a short period on an RTW eg 3 weeks - but most travellers go for 2 to 12 months on a round the world flight and change their tickets often - you will need that flexibility. You can try to work around this by booking only segment or two at a time, but many countries require showing a departing ticket on arrival.
