If you are looking for a great ATW fares you may be surprised to see that buying a series of one way tickets will give you the bang for the buck, especially if you are in North America.
Several airlines provide free stopovers in their hubs. Here is a typical trip in Summer that costs $4000 , I could get for under CAD$2620.
Toronto --> Vancouver --> Seattle (by train) --> San Francisco --> Singapore (with optional stop-over in Hong Kong or Seoul for extra $100) --> Bangalore --> London --> Manchester (by train) --> Iceland (Free stopover on Icelandair) --> Toronto.
From Europe try flying Emirates to India/Thailand with a Free Stop-over in Dubai. Several low cost airliners like AirAsia and Tiger Airways fly in and out of India to SE Asia. From SE Asia fly to US West coast with a stop over in Japan, Korea or Philippines.

ReplyDeleteHI,
ReplyDeleteExcellent details for travel. Came to this blog via search.
I am from Toronto area, would be traveling to Bangalore, while return would like to take a stopover in Dubai for 2 days in May 2012. How do I book baggage. From Bangalore to Dubai it says 1 bag, but from Dubai to Toronto I get 2 bags, how do get a chance to carry 2 bags direct from Bangalore to Toronto with stopover in Dubai ?
If you break your journey, this is an issue. I had the same problem too, explain to the counter agent and ask for a supervisor. Tell them you have a direct ticket to Canada. They dont understand that Canada and USA has the same baggage allowance.
