RTW vs Multi-City

Explains the difference between a formal RTW fare and a normal multi-city booking.


RTW vs multi-city

A multi-city booking is simply an itinerary with more than one flight sector. A round-the-world fare is usually a structured fare product with its own geography, direction, stopover, mileage, continent, validity and ticketing logic.

Not every multi-city trip is a RTW trip. Not every RTW-style trip needs a formal RTW fare.

Advisor test

If the traveller wants many international stops and expects flexibility, compare formal RTW products against independently constructed published fares.
