I am getting ready to purchase a RTW ticket, but I am seeing a lot of contradictory pricing. Do you really have to fly out of Tonga to save $3,000
I am trying to do something like this (or start in reverse):
LAX > Lima > Sao Paulo > Cape Town > Addis Ababa > New Delhi > Bangkok > Bali > Tokyo > Hawaii > Lima > LAX
Basically I am getting quoted like $7,800 out of LAX/Miami/Houston. I have heard of quotes like 5K (for 16 segments) on 4 hour work week. Also I think Lumiere said he got a RTW for around 5-6K USD. Am I missing something? Is it really that much cheaper to start out of the USA, and if so where is the best place to start considering I will have to purchase a ticket to get there from NA?
Any help would be much appreciated from you that have made the purchase.
